Re: extra layer of password protection. new from UO.com. [Re: joblackjon ]

"Has anyone been able to get this to work? It rejects my username and p/w yet when I go to edit existing, I get in without a problem.

So I clicked forgot my p/w, twice. That was last night and no email yet! Makes me wonder who was sent my p/w? So I edited my 3 accounts and changed the p/w. "

The login for your EA member account may not be the same as the login for your UO account - the UO account is used under the "Edit" screen, the EA account under the "Create" screen. If your account is more than a couple years old, you probably had an EA account created automatically as uo_youraccount.

The length issue I'll pass along, likewise the wrong question issue.

Re: extra layer of password protection. new from UO.com. [Re: mdacc#one]


"omg, now I think about it, it happend to me too. At first, I didn't know my username so i hit the retrival button and a slew of username came to me. But few minutes later. In the mean time, I hit the password retreival button but no emails came. I hope it didnt randomly go to someone eslse. I was however, able to add in the security questions later but haven't tried it since.

Please tell me Jeremy that password retrival if it didnt work before the security question that it was because EA just didn't send it and not because EA send it to joe smith in some other country.

It doesn't get sent if the info isn't right - but it doesn't tell you it's wrong, to avoid someone trolling for info by looking for successes.

Re: Account Security and the Security Challenge Question

the extra security word is a mythic thing..

DAoC had it since the beginning, a secret word for each account.

Which led me absolutely nowhere. Nothing I do leads me to any screen giving me a choice about a security question.
