Spamming from alt accounts. Level: 81 Posts: 757/1610 EXP: 4880778 Next: 112071 Since: 09-10-08 Last post: 3590 days Last view: 3011 days |
Namely, on the registration, edit profile and edit user/whatever pages.
All of those fields should have a "Confirm password" field along with them. It would reduce the chances of goofing your password or, worse, accidentally changing someone else's password when editing him/her because of the browser's password field autofilling, or whatever goofing. All the board systems I know so far always ask for passwords twice. There's no reason Acmlmboards shouldn't. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

Posted by Mega-Mario But that's a Acmlmboard tradition. There's always some admin goofing up users passwords over the years due to that.  ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

That's not an excuse. You know what's an Acmlmboard tradition? Post layouts. And we all how that ended. ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks  — byuu |

Thanks Now hopefully we'll have less passwords goofed up
Edit- the way it works for editprofile should be changed to something like ignoring the password change and still changing the other details when the second password field is empty. Otherwise, as most browsers will autofill the first password field but not the second one, you have to enter your password each and every time you're editing your profile. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

That makes so much sense, you'd have to wonder why not. ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks — byuu |

I think some modern forum software puts the "Change password" fields on a seperate page.  Can't check right now.____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Yeah, many have segmented profile editing, where you only change a limited number of related fields at a time (password/email, avatar/sig/etc, et al). ____________________ |

Except those suck.
I vote put "change password" on a different page accessed through editprofile. ____________________ we're currently experiencing some technical difficulties |

I guess I've been misunderstood, what I meant is actually ignore the password change only if one of the fields is blank, and otherwise perform the password changing or show an error, depending on whether the user typed his password correctly or not. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

No... we were discussing alternate, less error-prone ways of doing password changing, maybe you should read the thread? ____________________ |

Posted by Traffic Light That's what has been discussed before. That's caused by browsers autofilling the first password field but not the second one. You have to either enter your password again, or just blank out the first password field. I suggested that the password change is ignored if the second field is empty (but only if it empty; if it is filled but differs from the first field, an error is still returned). I've been told people could then think their password was changed when it wasn't and then get stuck. Well, I think that if someone is moronic enough to not understand the meaning of the "retype" field, he is too moronic to post on a discussion board anyway. It has also been suggested that the password change was made on a separate page. Technically, it is more work, but could work. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |
