The information in the PMs exchanged says that Maya's player is known to have given out the password to another player. And the player who showed up as Mayu says that he "just found this on my friends pc" and that he's going to change the password.

Does this tell you anything?
(1) Don't give out your passwords to anyone.
(2) Don't leave your passwords on autofill.

If you can't remember something new for each char, pick a set phrase and base it off the char's name: "georgerules" for George, "fredrules" for Fred, etc. Yes, it's chintzy, but it's safer than using autofill.

Since it's not clear that the password was changed, I'll leave it to Mayu's player to contact the Magi (isrpmagi@gmail.com) if s/he can't get into the char and needs us to reset the password to something safe again.
I have given out my password to one person, yes, but that person I know couldn't have been on during the time of the occurance, beings she was at school. I've known the player for a while, and pretty much know she WOULD NOT give it out to others. As for auto filling, never on my pc at home. For one, my browser doesn't autofill user or password for any FlashChat or java powered chat sites. I have made various databases of my passwords, but keep them on lock down using Microsoft Word password protection.

The Mayu account without the last name was the first version I created of her and is no longer in use. There is also a Dark Mayu as well, no longer in use either. Mayu Amakura is the only one I use at this time.

Ultimately, I do have siblings at home, so there is a good chance it could have been one of them. I'll look into the matter when I get home and can actually access my home PC.
