Someone has stolen my account. I am working with mojang to fix it, but I don't know if I can get all my stuff back. If I change my name back will I get my stuff back? Stupid idiot changed it to NITHEETHC. Help!!!
Also be sure to chanse your password of your mojang account so the other person doens't have access to it anymore (that is if you don't know the person)
also change the password of your linked email address, and check if it didn't got changed in your minecraft profile.
Basically, change your password every month or so. But I suggest you never make your passwords the same or repeating.
If people would finally make 12-16 long passwords, with .,! Numbers and letters and don't use some where else, you don't need to change it every month. Use a TwoFactorAuthorization everywhere you can. For the password, you could just right down a sentence, take the first letters of the words, put the numbers and ()!,. in and you are safe. If people would do that, we wouldn't have problems with stuff like brute force or guessing the password anymore. Next step would be encryption, but first follow the steps of a good password and 2FA
password can always be figgered out i myself am in an ict study 'road' and i have to unlock passwords whit more then 30nummers and letters but it only takes like 5months but its always posible so change you password every so often. so the chanses are less to none
Not trying to be rude, but I am not quite sure what you mean and how you do that. A 30 digital letters and numbers has a lot of combinations and would take years to guess with a normal computer. That would also mean encryption is useless, if you'd be able to hack it in 5 months. Eventually wanna clear me up on this one? EDIT: Nvm, this is off topic and won't solve the problem.
Or you could just make a new password every few months and write it down. If you feel like you've been hacked or whatever, go to this site Have I been pwned? Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach
Changing the Password from "paswwd123" to "paswrd321" every month wouldn't help much. Just kidding, you are right though, changing a safe Password to another safe Password is another layer of security, but I mean you would only Need it for Special stuff like your E-Mail account. Having one safe Password for mojang and some clever Security Question´s shouldn't get you in Trouble [DOUBLEPOST=1470844277][/DOUBLEPOST] Not sure if ya already did, but this may be some useful Information for your Problem: Info - Regarding Name Changes | MineYourMind Community
