[XA04]

Anyone else get this email? It seems pretty genuine.. as the links are genuine , but it's also strange.

Dear share.skype.com user,

We are upgrading share.skype.com so that the system used to sign in to
the site is better integrated with the main Skype.com user sign-in
system. You used your Skype Name and password to sign in to
share.skype.com previously to participate in discussions and use
personalized content, and you will continue to do so.

Because of changes in the secure password storage system, we would
like all share.skype.com users to update their Skype password to
ensure their continued privacy.

During the next 24 hours, we will be resetting the passwords of all
affected Skype Names. In order to sign in to Skype the first time
after this reset, you should simply follow the procedures for
recovering a lost password. Just go here and follow the instructions:
http://www.skype.com/go/forgotpassword

Remember that Skype will never contact you to ask for your password.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Just go here to get your new Skype password:
http://www.skype.com/go/forgotpassword

If you have trouble getting it from there, please
submit a Customer Service ticket at this address:
http://support.skype.com

Alternatively, you can e-mail to support 'at' skype.net, to reset your
password.

HOW DO I KNOW THIS E-MAIL IS NOT FAKE?

We have recently seen a lot of Skype-related faked e-mail. You should
always be careful about such e-mails. Remember, Skype will never
contact you to ask for your password. To show you that this e-mail is
valid and from Skype, a copy of this mail is posted at the following
address:

[XA04]

That's what I thought, but why would all the links be genuine to the Skype website?

I havn't entered any details yet, maybe the site has been hacked.

[Kaine (AoD)]

Dont do anything as of yet, if you start having problems after that then just go streight through to skype and not directed though any other links tbh just to be safe

ganna ask a few of the guys here see if they think its fake or legit

[Apex]

[Kaine (AoD)]

The site is just the standard forgot password site, if you fidn your password stops working just navigate to it normally from skype.com

[XA04]

Yeah I can't login now so I need to reset my password.

[chicken]

It probably is genuine as they're just releasing Skype 2.0
