Make player accounts more secure...
 

I think i posted this in the right place...

Would their be any possible way to make accounts more secure when logging on. I mean hackers hack account passwords left and right for their own pathetic reasons. I was recently banned on N-Pulse and Jailed on Unholy Nations. I play those servers the most and to have someone hack my password and do this is rediculous...Accounts should be more secure in some way such as :

IP and if your on another CPU you would need that password to change your IP to the current IP your connected to..Graal Account and IP changer for the account would have to different passwords to make it more secure. The focus of this thread is'nt ONLY for my reason but this has happened to 2-3 of my friends and alot of other people im sure. And to have hackers get the passwords with ease is rediculous. Especially for a player who only plays 1 server (Yes some do this). So it's basically a waste of their money having to upgrade an account and get it banned where they play the most. Something needs to be done..Changing your password all the time still doesnt fix the problem

These "hackers" don't get your password unless you give it to them. It's hardly Graal's fault, and I don't think sensible people should be put through extra hassle because of it.

I for one DONT give my password to anyone....and believe or not...Theirs ways to get passwords...Im sure theirs plenty of password crackers out there >.>

Then nobody has your password. It's that simple.

What, through arcane divination? Telegnostic rituals? I'm not saying the victims intentionally give away their passwords. They're just too naive, ignorant and/or stupid to protect themselves.

It's not that simple considering im banned and jailed on 2 servers over only a 3day period. I dont even have "Save password" checked.

I all i want is some improvements in account log-ins if possible. Im sure this can happen. It wouldn't hurt to try..

SOmeone could have put a keylogger on your computer

Graal should make you email validate every different IP you use (atleast if the first 3 numbers are different).

You are responcible for your own account.

yes, a keylogger or a trojan....
maybe someone sent you a file via AIM or MSN or ICQ or whatever with a virus and got acess to your passwords..so its your fault =/

I guess you should be a little more careful, then.

u should buy a antivirus programm or a firewall to save ur computer..

I agree with Kai. It would only increase the work load by people IP locked out of accounts, not what we need. Lots of people dont get their account stolen, and personally I have never had mine taken and there is nothing stopping anyone going on client if they have my password. But I don't signup for fake global staff applications, leave my password in an email in an insecure hotmail account or give it out to spark9ii on AIM!

xD löl

No, it should not.

I've never had my account stolen. Don't give your password out to anyone, memorize it, don't log on computers that someone else could use your password from (or scramble it once your done), and if you can't memorize your password, write it down. Don't keep your password on your computer.

VISITING HAX SITES, CONNECTING TO 1337 HAXORS ON AIM, OPENING SUSPECIOUS FILES, AND MESSING WITH TRAINERS WILL GET YOUR PASSWORD STOLEN DAMNIT.

Seriously how can people get "haxed" on graal? You'd have to be an idiot to have your password taken.

Iv'e heard about this from numerous people...How would i remove this keylogger?

a keylogger is a virus
so u should delete them with an "antivirus programm" :)

No.

ehr ? someone send it to you so it gives him acess to ur passwords or ?

You think that is the definition of a virus?

ehr if u can get passwords from him u can say its a virus
but whatever ?

Your definition of 'virus' is 'something that gets passwords'?

O.o it gets the password from other ppl so yes ?
it gives u acess to his computer datas or forum passwords or whatever x-x

What precisely do you think the word 'virus' means?

virusses can give u acess to a computer or can even destroy it X_X

That is not how the word is properly defined.

I'm going with Kai and Gerami on this one...

Hackers just dont go
OH ACCOUNT matt8891
the password must be I23ntFG4 (not a real password)

Sure, they COULD go through the terrible task of trying every single combination, doubtful though.

How did they get your password and your friend's passwords? Simple, you downloaded malficious items. These include Graal Trainers.

hrm
so? then tell me :D

Dude, stop saying that. It's not a word.

I only recall it being said once on my part ;)

And it seems like a word :(

You have used it twice! I held my tongue the first time, but after the second I could stay silent no longer!

Maybe you shouln't download dodgey programs or visit suspicious websites.

Oh well.. I mean look what state I live in

I dont do any of that.

So if you say it is not the players' fault that their accounts get stolen, are you implying that there is a weakness in Graal's systems?

If that is the case, why do these evil hackers not steal Stefan's account, or mine, or some other admin's, instead of accounts of people no one cares about?

Good point, Loriel.

If you want a free program to remove keyloggers and other junk, I use Spybot: Search & Destroy

format C:

Because your accounts are more secured....Joking :whatever: ...Im not saying theirs a problem with Graal im just saying their could be improvments made to decrease the ammount of problems with accounts.
