News said we were hacked back in February (not sure why MFP didn’t msg us) and so I went to change my pw and...um, anyone have any idea WHERE I go to do this???
Sincerely,
Annoyed

    Yes go to 'Settings' at the top of the page. From there you can change your password.

    They only learned of the attack on Sunday and sent emails out this evening

    I couldn't figure out how to change my password through the app so I logged into account online and changed there.

    Got the notification and email this morning, changed password but I guess the horse has bolted, if they had the details since Feb then you should assume they have had access to all your details (it's relatively easy to crack a password hash especially if your password is weak).

    This data breach is very personal, stuff I just don't want others to know about !!

    Can UA or MFP clarify what happens with accounts logging in with the FB account credentials? I can't change the pass from MFP account as it's linked to FB.

    Meanwhile I got an official answer from MFP stating FB auth was not affected by the breach. Changed the password though, can't hurt.
