received 2 emails with a password change request without requesting them myself!

is this someone who is trying to hack my account ?

 

I'm not from the ED team, but yes, most likely is someone trying to enter your account. It could be someone that is returning to dcs, had a very similar User Nickname, and doesn't remember it correctly.

Hi. I don't really know, it was just a guess.

Hope you find what's going on.

Email address is NOT required for password rest - only the LOGIN.

 

So if your login is Maks12 and someone has the account Maks21, and they are trying to get in with Maks12, and have put that into the 'Get Password' - you will receive the email from their attempt.
