yes, I had that and although my folder is private, I didn't bother since my pics aren't exactly valuable ;)

Makes you wonder what went on though

Came across the same thing last week when I was uploading the quiz pictures.
Just changed my password and clicked to Remember Me and also changed it in Firefox.

I have just logged in and changed mine..........they have been asking for several days for me to change, but I could not remember my password,  :no:,..............been relying on my browser password manager. Changed now.

I seem to recall reading a couple of months ago that Photobucket had been hacked and had all sorts of malware implanted for download by us innocents.
This must be a clean up by P/bucket.

I've been caught out like that before, not important on a site like photobucket, but on some others it would be a disaster, now have a small address book that I write passwords down in. On sites that aren't particularly important I must confess to using  the same password or a variation of.
