Password Changes

  1. Corey Gradilla @ 20 Nov 2008 11:30:38 AM
    Hey Everyone,

    Just a reminder, if you think you've been fooled into giving out your account information I would advise that you change your passwords as soon as possible.

    Even throwing a couple of numbers onto your password such as your birth year or something similar is a decent counter-measure.

    For example, if you were born in 1982 and your current password is:
    mafiadeath

    You could set your new password to:
    mafiadeath1982

    So that it's still easy for you to remember.

    - Dave

    Just a question has there been an increase in hacked accounts?

    is that the reason for the new security updates?

    mafiadeath1982 is not a secure password at all!... people are gonna try hacking accounts now by trying~

    mafiadeath1975 through mafiadeath1985 on a bunch of players while using a proxy or manually changing IP with command prompt when they try to log in.

    Im sure or hopefully sure you admins / GM have a valid logins tool & invalid log ins tool too see this as it happens. Not that it will help much...

    The kind of password you NEED will be like this:

    "M1AfiaD9eaT8H2" not "mafiadeath1982"

    Mix in caps & lower case and throw numbers in random spots "mafiadeath1982" is NOT a secure password at all.
