bad Chess.com account managements (cracking accounts)

Sort:
two

Was told before that Chess.com is working towards / has been disabling accounts that have been apart of db leaks or accounts with suspicious activity on them but this doesn't seem to be the case and cracking Chess.com accounts is still very easy. Sad to see this be a issue for a website as big as Chess.com

The site resets the password when a breech on other sources have the same credentials as here

Password reuse is a really bad idea and that's how it has happened in the past. It's not actual that accounts that are cracked.
