    My old credentials would not work (as I suspect is by plan) and I had to reset password in order to enter.
    During reset process, I noticed that login now requires email + password instead of the old username + password.
    The return email I received from myavast@avast.com did not pass outlook.com's fraud detection filter, and I was warned of that, per the screenie below.
    I did go forward with the reset process, despite the warning, and I have since logged in with my new password.

    The forum works really slowly.

    So, if we sign in with our Avast account details we don't need to change the forum password?

    TIA.

    I have used their forum for years but it gave me a new name plus now I'm a newbie. Oh well, I don't have a problem with their protection...just using the forum right now.

    You should be able to get back your original username and all your content.

    I did not have a "myavast" account, so, all I had to do was request a password reset and it emailed a link that let me set a new password. The account I registered directly on the forum in Feb 2005 is accessible without any issue.

    Still containing mixed content (encrypted and unencrypted). Not cool...

    I am told that externally linked avatars are kinda hard to encrypt... ;)
