I just posted this in General which probably wasn't the right place for it. For the 2nd time someone has reset my password by trying to login and requesting a reset. I dealt with this yesterday by logging in with the temporary password and then changing it. Now I just got an email that it happened again.
Not sure if someone is trolling me or if anyone else has experienced this recently.

I don't know of any way to stop someone from requesting a password reset.

I don't suppose there's any way to tell who's doing it? I mean I could technically probably get your password reset now without knowing any information other than your username. I have about 6 or 7 email attempts since yesterday of someone requesting a username reminder and password reset.I don't know of any way to stop someone from requesting a password reset.

I don't know of any way to tell who is requesting a password reset. Fortunately the email is sent to you and no one else.

I just got 15 reset requests in the last 10 minutes. JT, I assume you have user email addresses visible to you. Please contact me, I need info about this forum. I'm not really sure how it works but I'm sure there's somebody involved in administrating this forum that can get this resolved.

Not a forum issue, user issue.
Tittle is misleading as site is not being hacked, your account is.
Forum is doing its job of protecting your account, hence e-mails.

Actually no hacking is going on, only someone is annoying you by requesting a password reset. There is no way to tell who requested the password reset that I know of.
