What scares me more is knowing that historically, if you think Linden Lab is doing something in a very wrong way, you have no recourse.

I signed on in '06 and can't remember the question. Though if available I always pick the same question (prt's name) whenever that particular security set-up is required.<br /><br />I've had to do the "revocer/change" password thing once. It was back in 2006 about three or four months are I was in-world.<br /><br />It was when there was a breech in LL servers and tyey forced every resident to change their password (I think concurrency back then was like 7000 or something LOL!)<br /><br />Well, I enterred it wrong. Had to do the three friends thing. Damned if I couldn't get that right. The problem is the spelling of the LAST NAME.<br /><br />We have long-time friends it bizarre how you just 'know' them - like a face in a crown, and don't realize that if you have to write out their name exactly - that last name could stump the hell out of you.Ari Blackthorne™https://www.blogger.com/profile/02558174810554904434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135355690938071630.post-54377340150843242812009-05-29T15:16:55.486+02:002009-05-29T15:16:55.486+02:00Ok I will go out on a limb here - about 1 year ago...Ok I will go out on a limb here - about 1 year ago, I have a close SL friend who told me to NEVER change my password because LL's password system is so screwed up. I also cannot remember what security question I chose. However, I'm absolutely astonished that after identifying herself in RL - LL is unable to help? This is just boneheaded stupidity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135355690938071630.post-53242966774847775342009-05-29T14:00:08.214+02:002009-05-29T14:00:08.214+02:00Yikes...

That's just an additional security measure for *AUTOMATED* password recovery.<br /><br />If I call a support hotline and request personal support they are supposed to reset my account based on the information they have and they can verify using their *HUMAN* brain. It's absolutely unacceptable to use such secret questions as one and only form to prove your identity.<br /><br />My account was hacked in the past and my RL details were changed. I still don't know how this could have happend but that was the info I got from LL that time. This means it's impossible to use such data including a secret question *ONLY* to verify a persons identity. Shame on LL to show us again how much they care for their residents. Support working with standard scripts they can't leave, standard email replies, nobody takes responsibility but rather playing the support ball to someone else and NO HELP for the one affected.Boy Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820890463695717640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135355690938071630.post-86190032303286807902009-05-29T11:34:59.631+02:002009-05-29T11:34:59.631+02:00I don't have an idea what my security question is....I don't have an idea what my security question is. And it's quite silly on Linden's behalf to expect people to call them on the phone to reset the password. how that is supposed to prove that you are who you are supposed to be? On the other hand there is three friends question (which seems not to work, luckily). I can name three friends of at least dozen people. <br />Normal services do password reseting via email. Credit Card number seems to be quite a proof of an identity. But no, they have to complicate it with phone calls to their center that is always busy. <br /><br />This shows one more thing. LL is so US centric. Which is bad for company whose less than a half of clients are in the US.dandellion Kimbanhttp://metaverse.acidzen.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135355690938071630.post-62590044145104008562009-05-29T11:28:41.825+02:002009-05-29T11:28:41.825+02:00I think i am safe, i believe its my mothers madian...I think i am safe, i believe its my mothers madian name..Morgana Hilrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16796952646689783292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135355690938071630.post-60838272501044791262009-05-29T11:25:55.355+02:002009-05-29T11:25:55.355+02:00Oh wow!
