Is my account in danger?!

So I created my account a few months ago. For a while, all was well, and I had no problem getting on to the website. However, I've been having problems these past few days.

One day, maybe yesterday or the day before, when I tried to log on, it said that I had the wrong handle and password combination. So I tried again. And again. I tried typing slowly, to make absolute sure that I was hitting all the right keys. I made sure that Caps Lock was turned off. Yet I still couldn't log on! Finally, I decided to reset my password. So I went on Gmail, found my new password, entered it in, and was able to log on to the website. Then I went to Settings and changed my password to one that wasn't exactly the same as my original password, but similar so that I could still remember it.

Then, when I tried to log on just now, the same thing happened. After trying a few times and making sure I was typing the password correctly, I reset my password again, and I was able to log on. I haven't changed it since.

There may be a more rational explanation, but this whole ordeal has caused me to fear that I'm being hacked. When I logged on, I started checking everything, my watchlist, my troper page, etc. to see if anything had changed, but I haven't found any changes. So please tell me: Am I right to be afraid?

Don't worry, the site just does that sometimes

Wow. Talk about Mood Whiplash! Does anyone know why it does that?

Please see the bug reports post. The site has been undergoing backend maintenance (installing new storage drives and transferring files), accompanied by brief downtime. There is nothing to be concerned about.
