Sometimes this happens when you are in BTC, close the browser qindow quickly, and open a new browser window and go into BTC.

You use Firefox? If yes, it could happen, if you open a new tag, and forgets to close it, in BTC. It happened to me one day. Anxious

I supposed the page refreshed too fast and ended up as 2 accounts at one time (similar to what Tango said).

I have encountered this glitch many times, Just I forgot to report it.

There are four ways to recieve this message:

The first and most common is to accidentally have two browser windows or tabs accessing BTC using the same account. This is easily solvable and not a glitch or a problem.

The second is to attempt to access BTC twice in quick succession, causing you to attempt to access it while still logged in once. Again, this shouldn't be a persistant issue.

The third is to have three or more users attempting to access BTC with the same IP address. This limit is intentional- it limits the number of multis that one person can use. This is likely the problem if you are using a network, or with certain ISPs.

The fourth and least likely is that your account had been compromised and the hacker was using it at the same time. The odds of this happening are near nil. If you are still worried, there is of course no harm in changing your password anyway.
