[SOLVED] Still no custom passwords on forums.linuxmint.com?


Anyone know if forums.linuxmint.com is still doing randomly generated passwords? I haven't logged in there since I changed my password immediately after the hacking incident. I remember seeing, several days ago, a post (a response to a post actually) by Clem indicating that they would be or were considering going back to the custom passwords. I'm reluctant to log in there because I don't want to have to change my password again if I don't have to - I have my own "system".

Talking [SOLVED] Still no custom passwords on forums.linuxmint.com?

Thankyou frankbell, - and I was able to log in with the password that I generated after the hack and prior to the notice that custom passwords were going away.
