Hi,

Today in my Gmail I received an allert that my Proz's password is compromised and found on the internet.
Or Gmail is lying, or Proz is not telling you everything. I think I will change the pass.

contact support Sep 17

Who has sent you that message? There was a real issue with hacked accounts (from an external exploit), so this message may be related to it. Contacting support would help getting some clarity.

How password alerts work: Sep 17

Hi Gregor,

The Google alert doesn't necessarily mean that your ProZ.com password was leaked from ProZ.com.

Google and other password managers can flag a password based on the password itself. For example, if the same password has been exposed in a breach involving another service, or if it is a commonly used password, it may trigger a warning regardless of which site you've saved it for.

Hi Gregor,

The Google alert doesn't necessarily mean that your ProZ.com password was leaked from ProZ.com.

Google and other password managers can flag a password based on the password itself. For example, if the same password has been exposed in a breach involving another service, or if it is a commonly used password, it may trigger a warning regardless of which site you've saved it for.

If you'd like to check whether the password has appeared in any known data breaches, you can use the password checker at Have I Been Pwned. For security reasons, please don't share the password with us or post it publicly.

As of now, ProZ.com is not aware of any data breach that could have exposed or leaked our users' passwords.

Changing the password is nevertheless a good precaution, particularly if you have used the same password elsewhere. I recommend using a unique password for ProZ.com and for other important profiles, and setting up 2FA for the email address you connect to your most important accounts. ▲ Collapse

Does Proz offer this option, yet? 08:59

"setting up 2FA for the email address you connect to your most important accounts."

But does Proz.com offer a 2FA, yet? Would be interesting to know.
