As the message states, it's safe to ignore this message. The most likely cause of this is a user forgetting his info and requesting yours. It's not an issue because the e-mail is only sent to the real account holder's address. Furthermore, your regular password remains active when a temp password is given, and the next time you sign in and out the temporary one becomes invalid.

Ok, no problem. But there's a thread in ABout the forums where this seems to be happenning to several people, not just me (I discovered that thread after I posted here). Also, I'm not sure what you mean, by a "user forgetting their info and requesting yours," you mean someone forgot their username, and then thought that maybe they were jman220?

It happens fairly regularly, although with that name I admit that it's harder for it to be accidental. Regardless, the only thing you need to be concerned about is being bothered.


EDIT -

Grr, after reading the whole thread I see the concern. The same IP has been used on a few people. sigh... I'm going to make myself late after all.
