 Two Factor Authentication for Pass/Email ChangesBasically when you attempt an email or password change require authentication for said change from the original email address. Thank you.

Re: Two Factor Authentication for Pass/Email Changes Seems logical. What's the point of linking an email address if it doesn't work this way?

At the moment, if someone guesses your password and gets your username from the forums (lol security), you lose everything. Verifying your email does nothing if they can instantly reset it to whatever they want without any hurdles to jump. _________________ Lemon/Meo |

Re: Two Factor Authentication for Pass/Email Changes 100% Disagreed, I want it to remain easy for someone to completely fuck over my account. This is a hostile and dangerous universe, isn't it?

Re: Two Factor Authentication for Pass/Email Changes Bump for the voting post. Please vote this up because account security has been a problem for far too long.

Re: Two Factor Authentication for Pass/Email Changes Well, then you have the problem of people who lose access to their email account, don't you? We'd have so many more tickets...

Re: Two Factor Authentication for Pass/Email Changes JeffL wrote: Well, then you have the problem of people who lose access to their email account, don't you? We'd have so many more tickets... The issue is that there is no insurance against someone who gets your pass/user and just changes your email without any confirmation. _________________ Lemon/Meo |

Re: Two Factor Authentication for Pass/Email Changes JeffL wrote: Well, then you have the problem of people who lose access to their email account, don't you? We'd have so many more tickets... We're not talking about 2FA in order to logon to the server here, only to secure accounts. If an increase in tickets is anticipated (more than can be accommodated by subscription fees or support staff time) I would suggest limiting it to premium accounts and / or backing it up with a "Lost your email?" link asking run of the mill security questions eg. what is the name of your first pet?, where was your fist school?, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? _________________

Re: Two Factor Authentication for Pass/Email Changes JeffL wrote: Well, then you have the problem of people who lose access to their email account, don't you? We'd have so many more tickets... The difference is that Yahoo/Microsoft/Gmail/Exchange servers(which then the dedicated IT people can reacquire it) all have the ability to easily recover your accounts. And I'm sorry but if someone makes their game account with their work account and then gets fired and loses that email. They don't deserve to play games. _________________ anilv wrote: Visorak wrote: I thought everyone was secretly a Trader operative? Absolutely no comment. |
