only taught of this cause of recent issues with idiots and my account

so here goes i forgot my log in details crap easy to get back but what about a security question like

mothers median name, fav place childhood best friend things like that and you need all 3 to get your details again ie

user name
email
security question

if not the 3 then 2 of the 3 ie

user nname or email
security question

what ya think?

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?

its annoying getting 51 emails from sgw telling you your log in details. read this

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....

yea so you can see why this would be a good idea

anything that helps prevent hacking is a good idea

i guess it makes sense, could help.

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.....

i agree. its annoying listening to ding ding ding for over and hour. it also wouldnt take much to put it in also you could make the question up yourself

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.
