Poll Question
Some people who have registered with the U.S. Mint received an email asking them to change their passwords, effective July 27. Who got an email and who changed their passwords?

Hmmmm....... I actually thought more people would have received the email. It came to the mailbox I'd given them for "contact me" but not the one that I use for many other coin things.
Ooops......I lied. It just came in on my Biedercoins account. Looks entirely legit.

Well, this is a poll, so I am inclined to leave it open.

I voted ... Did not get the email. Because there was no option ... Did not look for the email

For what it is worth, I did not get an email, but I just logged into my account and got a reset notice.

It's a wonder the Mint didn't do this password change on the same day something major goes on sale, such as the Reagan Coin & Chronicles Set or the gold Standing Liberty quarter.

I figured that's why they did it. Seems to me the Ike C & C came out the second week of August when they know  I'm going to be on an island with no internet or cell service.

I finally got an email last night, after I had already changed my password, of course.

I always look in my spam email folder, and I haven't gotten an email to change my password.

Have you tried to log in to the website? You should get a notice at that time.

When I opened the message, it looked like someone was trying to phish my account password info, so I screen-saved & forwarded it to the U.S. Mints catalog email and received a reply that it is a genuine request to reset ones password.. It still doesn't make any sense to me that with all the phishing scams, why would the Mint have you click on a link in the message instead of requesting you sign into your account..
