UniSol 28 Posted March 28, 2015 I've forced the login dialog over HTTPS - this means your credentials will be encrypted between your computer and the website during login. Regular browsing and posting remains non-secure due to the fact users will be linking to external content. If you haven't changed your password in a while, this is a friendly reminder.

NeverAgain 300 Posted March 28, 2015 What's the reason for the change? have user details been compromised? or is it just to make it harder to compromise details in future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UniSol 28 Posted March 30, 2015 Whilst I was beavering away with infrastructure improvements post-Feb-outage, I thought I might as well add some peace of mind for those security consciences out there. I can add optional two factor authentication with Google Authenticator if there are enough people out there who would like it use it. As with SSL there is a annual cost to the plugin.

alibaba 1,183 Posted March 30, 2015 Do you have to put your current password in to change it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UniSol 28 Posted March 30, 2015 If you've forgotten it, or like many rely on browser saved - you can use the Forgotten Password function. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alibaba 1,183 Posted March 31, 2015 There is a problem with me doing that. The email address I used to sign up is no longer valid. What do I do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Sick Moon 2,039 Posted April 1, 2015 The email address I used to sign up is no longer valid. What do I do? Change to a valid email address in your settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ans 1,595 Posted April 1, 2015 There is a problem with me doing that. The email address I used to sign up is no longer valid. What do I do? You need the current password to change your email address so you seem to be caught in a loop. If you want to PM me your updated email address I can manually edit it for you so you can do a password recovery. If you're using Chrome you can view saved passwords btw, just look in Settings>Advanced and you can reveal them. Dunno about IE/FF/Saf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Bear 651 Posted April 7, 2015 If you're using Chrome you can view saved passwords btw, just look in Settings>Advanced and you can reveal them. Dunno about IE/FF/Saf. Oh Jeez! I didn't know about that. You don't even need to retype your password to see all the sites you saved the passwords on. Mine's like a smutty history of beards and technology. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ans 1,595 Posted April 7, 2015 Pretty sure windows should prompt you to re enter the desktop password to show any saved passwords but still, it's a really good example of why you shouldn't let people on your machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boo Gay'n 296 Posted May 1, 2015 Any way with the new set-up that I can log in again via TOR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manxy 1,081 Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Any way with the new set-up that I can log in again via TOR? TOR has been having a few problems from the black hat hacking group 'Lizard Squad' who were using malicious relays. Not sure if the issues have been resolved but they were alleged to have been the cause of disrupting Comcast, Charter and other cable companies for the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight Edited May 3, 2015 by manxy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
