Dear Tor Trac users,
We learned on recently that there was a bug in our Trac setup that allowed anyone to register a new user account for an existing user name, overwriting the existing user's password and thereby taking over the account [0].
A workaround was quickly implemented by weasel to prevent new user registration while we investigated how to re-enable it without encountering this problem again. Soon after, our configuration was fixed to allow new registrations without overwriting existing usernames.
However, it's still possible that somebody has taken over your account in the past and you didn't notice because you didn't log in recently. We recommend users try to login and if you find you are unable to do so, you can reset your password here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/reset_password
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you! Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Erinn & the rest of the Tor Trac team
