User Authentication Upgrade



Sometime in the next week we will be logging everyone out of their accounts to upgrade our user authentication. If you don't have your account information handy now (like your password!), make sure you remember it soon!

I log in/log out everyday (that's what you get for sharing a computer with your siblings), so no prob for me! :D

Many thanks for the warning. And, as someone who got their Neopets account hacked: I applaud any and all authentication upgrades you care to do.

Would this be just username and password, or other stuff as well? I have a habit of not giving out any personal info on the internet so odds are I used a random date as a birthday. Would that be a problem?

You guys just need to know your password. We are simply giving a heads up because we know some people never log out of their accounts, and therefore might have forgotten their password.

Umm can you be more specific as to what user authentications we will need because some of us don't use that pin system.

Mreh. I end up logged out every time I drag my laptop to a friends house. Firefox knows this stuff for me.

Hmm... like when I download my account the file's only 20 bytes large. That doesn't seem right to me.

But I know what my password and PIN are, so I'm not too worried about next week.

Funnily enough I was actually logged out when I got on this morning, so... XD

Someone mentioned account download, and I tried as well... and as always it did not work for me. 20 bytes is all I got. :/

Anyways, I log in by hand every day, I know my pw. xD

yes thank you for the heads up. i have question though, I may sound stupid, but by account info do you just mean pass word and name or do we have to have our user number and other things also?

And thus the panic sets in. Thanks for the heads up though.

I'm fairly sure all he means is the username/password. Some people are so used to the site auto-remembering them that they haven't actually logged in in AAAAGES. That's all. ^-^

Just your password that you use to login.

A LOT of users rely on just being logged in when they get on the site and forget their passwords after months of just doing that ;)

By 'account info' do you just mean pass, email and pin? Cause if so that's alright. Just checking I'm not forgetting something. XD
