- Why have I received this message?
- All administrators are receiving it.
- What prompted you to send this message?
- Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account.
- What do I need to do?
- Only to follow the instructions in this message.
- Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
- Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
- Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.
- How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
- You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.
