The 0.10.1d account changes

Best way to see how shady someone's claim is- is to see if they ever login to the game again. Chances are, I'm probably not going to play again. Lost way too much :/

Looks like everything was sorted out while I slept! Good stuff.

Suggestion here.

If player logs in from a different country and enters their unlock code disable trading on their account for say 8-24 hours, this will prevent items being traded off if the hacker also compromised the player's email account.

This will give the player time to realise their account's been hacked and change their passwords without losing any items.

That wouldn't work. Joining a party would still be possible so the items could just be dropped on the ground in an instance then picked up by another character.

One concern:

I play from 2 different cities all the time. Will I have to use an unlock code every time I drive from one location to the other?

Or will it (hopefully?) remember the 2 cities from that time forward? This seems like a great new feature, but I mean I drive up and down that pass all the time.

Is there any chance on adding the option for an SMS account lockout recovery?

It's much harder for someone to steal my phone than hijack my email. Being able to reset via SMS would be really helpful.

Still, concerned about having to go through support or emails every time I make that drive, though.

And I've been reading that it'll send me a new password every time? So okay, I'll need my email open to play the game, it seems. Maybe that's not so bad, but I'd really like for the thing to just remember two cities.

There are people in this world who have the inclination to do unscrupulous things but lack the courage to do it in real life so they do it in a videogame. I accept it as reality but I will never understand the mentality.

I thought we had the ability to disable this service? I have to re-read the post again =/

I'd like to point out... I have two separate internet connections, same city (I use my dedicated-work connection if nobody else is using it). When I switch from one modem to the other, it said new city.

Thanks :)

I made a guide in my work about strong password, Im using transposition, replacement, signs, Caps and 9+ lenght.

Just an example:

Password: pathofexile

Password with replacement: p4th0f3x1l3

Password with Replacement and Transposition: 3x1l3f0p4th

Password with Replacement, Transposition and Signs: 3x1l3*f0!p4th

Password with Replacement, Transposition, Signs and Caps: 3X1l3*F0!p4Th

(this was just an example I'm not using this passwords in any of my accounts)

And you just need to remember the first word and what methods you use, and everytime use words out of everything known about the game or yourself.

Regards!

Im sorry, thats just bollocks.

Why do techies insist on making people pick passwords that are impossible to remember but exactly as easy as any other to brute force?

Hell thats just an algorithm, anyway.

People should pick a password that is easy to remember and almost impossible to bruteforce:

eg:
PurpleMonkeyDishwasher (23 characters)
AquaElephantCoffeeMachine (26 characters)

the algorithm is some combination of Color Creature and Object in camelcase, but could easily be Verb Object Color for
eg
RunningLorryAquamarine (23)
JuxtaposingTankYellow (22)

Seriously, these are much easier to remember than some pseudo-random series of letters, numbers and symbols of which the average person can only remember 7 with any accuracy (its the reason why most local phone numbers are 7 digits long). With this in mind this system has people remember exactly three random things that still create a password thats practically impossible to crack.

Think Simpler, computers are good at random and complex.
your most complex one 3X1l3*F0!p4Th takes exactly as much computer power to break as BluePaperGate or BrainPopNixon

before anyone goes, but that simplifies the crack attempts to a dictionary search: try Prissy18WheelerPalletJack: dictionaries are by no means complete, and if you use a scientific word like CycloHexane or DiHydrogen the dictionary thing is just fucked (up yours Oxford University).

And still easy to remember.
