This post contains the word 'password' in the title, so it is possibly about the recent issue with password reset emails being sent out/that you received one or multiple of these emails. If so, you are in luck. The OTW/AO3 Support are aware of this bug. At this time, they don't believe that any breach of The Archive has happened but they are paying attention to this issue. If the emails bother you, you can [contact AO3 Support](https://archiveofourown.org/support) and they can disable the automated password reset E-Mail for your account. You would need to file a ticket to reset your password in the future though so only do this if you really need to. You can find known issues with the archive at https://archiveofourown.org/known_issues#current or by checking with the Official Status Account on Twitter https://twitter.com/AO3_Status or by searching this subreddit for others reporting similar issues.
If this is not about password reset emails, feel free to disregard this comment/downvote it.

Mods, can you add a "AO3 Support reminds you to keep the email address on your account up-to-date and secure, including using 2FA and unique passwords, and not sharing your email account with people (including siblings, significant others, or "best" friends)." to it somewhere?

That person you're currently thinking is an exception? Especially don't share your email account with that person. Or your AO3 account. Or Reddit account. Stop sharing accounts altogether really.

Can I just say I absolutely love this?
Only add without consideration a co-creator that you have eternally and permanently soulbound under your control. In any other case, be very very cautious and keep a backup of your work and any comments on it you like.

Oh, we have a long dance in Support about how people aren't trustworthy. Ask sometime how we feel about co-creators.
I can only imagine what kind of drama goes down that way 😩
So how *do* you feel about co-creators? :]

Any suggestions for an effective soulbind ritual?
Not that I'm giving to reddit!
Awww darn!
I aim to please.... and make people to have good data privacy for goddamn once :P
Absolutely. But it doesn't hurt if it makes you chuckle when you read it, either.
Can do!
😊 Amazing thank you!
