Locking the account to your computer ID

[Pimmeh]

So, I did use the button on my good old computer and my friend decided to test it. And he could easily log on my account with his computer.
Seems like a bug?

Have you been on that account with that computer before?

That's why. You should make sure to read the whole thread where he said he released this.

To enable that protection click on the "Protect" button in the serverlist screen. This is optional for normal users, but global admins will need to use this in the future.

I did not have any confirmation e-mail or anything and I dont see why my friend would be able to access my computer. He did before, but I locked it on my computer, not his!

All computers that have accessed the account before can still use it, they were auto-verified.

if you guys would have read the thread about when stefan released this... He will be adding a feature that will clear all computer id's so that will solve the problem.

He said he might add that.

heh, Gotta love Graal people, there's no specifics with them :P Either someone takes what someone announces as a "maybe", literally, or they don't even take notice of the announcement at all.

Pretty sure I only mentioned 2. (People taking a 'Maybe' as 'Definite', or Not paying attention to the announcement at all thus asking something already answered in the original announcement)

[ViperZakuto]

maybe, literally, or don't take notice at all sounds like three to me... and i don't really see any other ways for people to take things...
