Hey there Tom's Community people!
In our ongoing efforts to improve cybersecurity, we'll be making changes to the way users sign-in to the forums starting today, August 11th. As such, every one of our users will be logged out of Tom's Guide, and all cookies will expire during the migration.
When the migration takes place, it will mark the beginning of Phase 1 (tentatively scheduled for late this week or early next week Aug 10th-14th). Once it is live, to ensure a seamless transition and to preserve your current password, simply log in to your Tom’s Guide account between now and August 16th. You'll be able to do so by selecting the link in the upper right-hand corner of the site, or by heading to the login page directly once it is live. The new service provides better encryption, so it’s a no-brainer for the security-minded.
Please note that during the migration period, registration and account recovery emails may be delayed by several minutes, so we ask for your patience in this regard. Additionally, please be sure to check your spam folders as sometimes emails end up there.
To sweeten the deal and ensure everyone comes along, we’re running two back to back Summer Giveaways worth thousands of dollars in prizes, including everyone’s favorite new gaming console, the Nintendo Switch, as well as Samsung’s flagship phone, the Galaxy S8. Check this space for forthcoming announcements on a set of spectacular Summer Giveaways!
Cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility, and we’re taking active steps to safeguard your security and privacy with this change on Tom’s. Thank you in advance for your attention to this!
Please use this mega-thread for any questions or concerns regarding the sign-in service migration and how it can affect your account. Stay tuned for additional details as the timeline for the roll-out of the account migration becomes more clear, as we'll be sharing that with you right here.
Warm Regards,
The Tom’s Community Team
