Forum forcing to change passwords, second time in couple of days (offtopic)

Have others seen this? You log in and then it says:

Welcome back! We hadn’t seen you in a while, so your account was temporarily deactivated. To reactivate your account, follow the instructions in the email we just sent to the email address below.

And then send you new temporarily password and you need to use that to login and change password. I've already done this twice, so it seems something is now broken how the forum handles that. Unfortunately I didn't find any forum for the forum itself, so I'll post here. Maybe should post to Fenix side to get more visible to Garmin, but as this is where I post most...

Hey jmto, is this occurring on your connect account too, or only when you try to sign into the forums? What browser are you using? Does changing browsers impact you receiving that message?

Hasn't happened to me (yet?) - so far behaving the same as usual.

Both times it has occured has been sign into the forums. Browser is Chromium based Vivaldi.

And it's kind of hard to test other browsers as it has come during login. Or well, maybe I could try to log out by myself and see does that happen then, or is it just when the logout has happened itself.

If I do manual logout and then log in, it doesn't seem to be happening.

So maybe next time I've been logged out of the forum, I'll try different browser to log in first...

I don't know is this related to this, but never seen this happening before. Garmin Express (Windows) just said some request error and cannot communicate with servers.. Did uninstall, reinstall and now it can again.

But forum haven't thrown me away.. GCW asked for login and that didn't cause that to happen, still waiting for more things to debug.

I've now been lucky(?) not to hit that. So haven't been able to reproduce it. So something weird but not probably very wide spread.
