I just got it too, looks like it expired w/in the last ½ hour. One can get around it by clicking on the “_No, don’t do it, it’s dangerous & we don’t recommend it link :eek:_” Postpone your membership renewal & then you’re not giving them any secure data anyway as I’d hope our users are smart enough to not reuse signons/passwords on multiple sites.
