mothers median name[/quote:**Filtered**]
I wouldn't even know where to begin answering that
What's wrong with how it is atm? So long as you have control of that email address, what's wrong with the security?

Ah, I can see why that would be annoying. lol.
Perhaps it might not be a bad thing to implement then if this is happening to such an extent
Wakko, I think they can also just use your username and that'll trigger the email as the security stands atm....

There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.

Re: Secruity question
Bad idea.
A lot of answers will be readily available on the net i.e. Pet's name.
It'd be safer to attend the admin meet (Admin will be able to see the IPs logged into your acc, as well as the IP of the computer communicating with him through IRC...)

With the advent of Facebook, such questions have, as Cabal said, lost their uniqueness.

But at least it would make it harder for the person to keep asking for the password email sent......they'd have to know your username and this key info.....

Re: Secruity question
You don't get the 'ding ding ding' if you divert them directly to Spam.
And since you would know if you wanted to get the e-mail, you'd know to look there.
Until then, it's a work under consideration. With obvious benefits and malefits.
