I created an alt account recently so I tried logging in with a different browser and was able to log in so it's not a system-wide issue. It's user-specific. That's even worse.
I have an alt ... I checked, I can go in that way ... but will wait awhile, don't want to give myself away. Holy crap, who would've ever thought.
I have a theory. I bet it's some of the nefarious characters on voat who went through everyone's user names here and they are attempting to log in enough times to lock the account (and all for revenge for leaving voat).
I could be paranoid but I don't put it past them.
I chose not to use the same name here and that might have saved me.
Very possible. I have a fairly secure password ... so there's that. I mean, who would ever guess Owlchemy1 with a capital O.
