Tell HN: GitHub will reset passwords June 24, 2020

  • I had the same message last month, except my deadline was April 24th. Anyone that's affected will see a message when they log in, but it will actually only reset until you try to log in after that date.

    For me, I logged in a few days after my deadline and instead of showing me the warning it just forced me to reset my password. I'm assuming they're doing it on a rolling basis of some sort.

  • Just out of curiosity: how do they understand password is weak if it is hashed?
