-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Due to an attacker mass-abusing accounts with weak passwords, passwords
that are the same as the username can no longer be used. Affected
accounts can reset their password by e-mail to something more secure.

Please report the change back to your various communities in case
someone needs help...
