Help me!
EDIT: Resolved, see below

Please help me with... Hello. Well, yesterday (2020-10-27) I received an iOS notification that my Wikipedia password had been part of a breach.

I'm still logged in here, but I can't change my password.

When I ask for a password reset, nothing gets emailed to 'whophd@progsoc.org'. That's been the same for 16 years. I think I added that email in 2006.

Anyway I'm saving this to my user page in case my browser token expires. Help! Whophd (talk) 07:12, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Just to add: The old password stopped working as soon as I received the breach notification, so I am worried. Whophd (talk) 07:36, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

RESOLVED: I talked to the sysadmin who saw some logs coming in from Wikipedia.org. They were going to another address for which an old redirect alias had broken. I think I need to wait out the timeout now. Thanks, sorry about that. Whophd (talk) 10:12, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Questions
Why does the admin userbox on your user page redirect to a different user's rights display? Can you give me a link to your RFA?  Tide  rolls  12:27, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I've removed the misleading admin userboxes. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:51, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing that. Somebody else added them and I did not understand why they were there.Whophd (talk) 23:58, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "somebody else"? The userboxes appear to have been added by your account back in 2016 [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Whophd&diff=716362990&oldid=664076370]. If this wasn't done by you, why did someone else have access to you account? Is this because of the compromised password? If so, have you made absolute certain that your account is secure now? Nil Einne (talk)
 * Until this week, my password was not a long-length auto-generated string. I don't feel the two mysteries are related;  it was only last week that I stopped being able to use my original password dating back over a decade.  I've changed a lot of personal practices in this time and I feel the account is now secure (notwithstanding Wikipedia does not offer 2FA);  I also checked for sockpuppet activity in my name but see none.  I don't know why those userboxes were there and it's just as likely that I copy-pasted something in error … I've just had a look at my concurrent activity and it looks like I was very early into learning how to use template boxes, and experimenting on my personal page.  I do appreciate everyone's oversight on this and your interest is welcomed, thank you. Whophd (talk) 07:16, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah if it was no problem then. Maybe you only wanted to add the "User for" box and got confused. Looking into this more, it happened only 19 minutes after you made this edit [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Louise_Sauvage_Pathway&diff=prev&oldid=716360682] which given your edit history was definitely made by you, so is unlikely because of a compromised password anyway. If it was made by someone else, more likely you left it logged in on some computer and someone else found it and was fooling. (But more commonly when that happens people do something more likely to get attention.)Nil Einne (talk) 12:11, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
