I am using safari on my iPad and I see the fsu banner but I have the other problem I just mentioned.

I am having the same problem. I too got that alert so I changed my password (or so I thought). I received a verification code. I could not log in with the new password, but I was able to, with the old password. However, I am having to log in everytime, even though I have checked the stay log in box.

Yes, I'm able to log in like I usually do with it not requiring a security code now. It is my old password, and now I see you had trouble, too.

I don't know what to tell you about having to log in every time, however. I always log out when I leave FSU. I just feel safer doing it that way. It doesn't take but a second for me to sign in.

I only log out of my financial accounts (and if I forget,the bank does it for me). I never log out of fsu or Facebook. Now I have to enter a password for both.

I guess I'm just the opposite of you. I log out of every place, especially if I visit my bank or pay something online. After I've logged out, the place I've visited suggests closing the browser for security purposes. I even use a tracks eraser.

I especially sign out of FB because some of my friend's accounts have been hacked before. Recently, one of my cousin's and two of my friend's accounts was hacked. They had to make a new FB acct. It really doesn't take but a second to sign in here and on Facebook, and I'm glad that I made it habit to sign out.

I received the alert notification again this morning, but I've decided to ignore it because it doesn't do any good to try and change it. I worked on trying to change my password for about twenty minutes the last time. I'm just wondering if there's a glitch with trying to change it. Here's the alert I received.

Your current password isn't unique and may have been compromised. We recommend that you change your password.

I don't know why my password isn't unique because I've used a combination of both letters and numbers.

Once again, I received an alert that my password is compromised and need to change. Last time I got a similar message, I changed my password and tried to log in with the updated password. It didn't work. So I used my old (compromised) password, and it worked. It's very strange.
I did not change my pw today.

Should I just ignore the alert from now on?

I'm not sure what to suggest to you. I guess it's up to you if you wish to try again. I made the decision not to take another chance on trying to change my password for one reason. I'm afraid I may compromise something if I try again. Then I wouldn't be able to sign in at all.

As long as I am able to sign in, I won't change anything.

I’ve disabled the alert that is sent for this now but if you received an alert, it’s probably a good idea to change your password and also make sure you’re not reusing the password on any of your other accounts.

You can change your password here: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/account/security

If you have any further issues, please let me know.

Thanks for the help @Server Guy. I was able to change my password with no problem.
