If you have a crunchyroll account, you should currently be particularly careful. According to several reports, a lot of user data including passwords have appeared online. On top of that, there are currently problems changing the password, but it is not impossible. This is how you protect yourself.
Crunchyroll was supposedly hacked
Specifically, Crunchyroll is said to have been hacked on Thursday. Here a user on X/Twitter shared the login data of several crunchyroll premium accounts. Other users claimed in the comments that the login data would actually work.

The post has now been taken from the side, but this leads to many users that their accounts could also be affected. So far, Crunchyroll has not commented on the alleged incident.
So it is difficult to say how realistic and extensive the alleged hack is. Nevertheless, it is always good to take care, especially if you also use the password for other accounts.
This is how you change your crunchyroll password
On top of that, the problem comes that the crunchyroll password is currently difficult to change. Many users report onRedditAnd Co. that you cannot adapt your password via the change function.
We also tried it and in the app the error message "We couldn't reset your password. Please try again." receive.
But there is a remedy: We were successful in trying the laptop. So it is quite possible that the problem is with the app or mobile version. In addition, some users on Reddit recommend trying it instead about the "forgot password" function, because it should actually work.
To do this, you have to log out and click on the "Forget password" option in the login screen. You then get an email and have to follow the instructions there to set your new password.
With havellenpwned you can check whether you are affected
If you are unsure whether you could be affected, it is worth taking a look at the websitehaveibeenpwned.com.
Here you can specify your email address for the respective account and check whether it was part of a known data leak. Of course, this not only applies to crunchyroll, but can also be worthwhile regularly for other accounts. In addition, an important prevention method is of course also not to use passwords twice.
Do you actually use your own password for each account or do you always use the same?
