My password was fine without an uppercase and lowercase and those wacky symbols. It was a good encryption. The standards that have been forced on us are a matter of opinion when it comes to security. This should not have been forced on the community.

Any hacking software can (through brute force) hack any password no matter what it has in it. Time is the only factor. Having random symbols will mess up the user more than it would prevent the hacker from entering the victims account.

Bad decision. You have made a lot of users not happy; you are not making it any safer for them either. Those of us that know code and computer systems understand this; there is no password you cannot crack.

(Also it is not safe to save your password to the browser. You might as well give out your passwords to hackers if you do this.)


+1 I bet I could hack somebodys password but im not because im a good person and I'd probably get arrested.This is not fixing the problem its just makeing it harder but possible.

If you haven't donated, they will ask you other questions that will help them to find out if it's the rightful account owner or somebody else talking to them. There's a lot of things that only the account owner is likely to know about the account.

I would imagine that they're up to their neck in tickets, and probably the easy ones are handled first...

VeronicaX can't even log on to support because her password was changed or something. What are the steps she needs to do to get her account back? I am on MSN with her and she is not a happy camper. You guys really messed this one up.

Go to http://support.huntedcow.com/

Choose general support

click register

make an account with an e-mail account you can reach

( first one I tried gave an error when I used the mail link I got, so I tried another )


Then you can explain your problem.
Worked for me. I could not get into FS, Forum or normal support system



This did not work for her. No email was sent and she couldn't make a new support ticket.

Ras, does she have a saved Password. If so, she should try to just use that one. I was having a problem and fixed it by doing that.

What a bunch of cry babies and idiots. I have not had a single problem with the log in changes. Just follow instructions and it's not hard at all. Now the game suddenly goes down potentially for SEVEN HOURS?? The update was fine, geez. You don't have to listen to the whiners ALL the time, do you???

I wish this update would have came out without bugs... Great update but people can whine about it because of bugs.

Now I can't get on. I'm 100% sure I typed in good password. I even reset it and tried with new one but it didn't let me in :(

Guess they couldn't take all of the BS people were throwing at them. Seriously people, it wasn't very hard to do. I did not have a single issue with any of the new password or login instructions. You guys are just whiners, you whine about everything. There were no bugs that I saw, just dummies. Sorry, but I just call 'em like I see 'em.

That was quite naive. I didn't have any problems with my log in and everything worked out fine. But other people didn't. You obviously haven't read very much of this thread.

Take VeronicaX for instance, she couldn't even log in at all with her previous password. Get that? NOT AT ALL! Her old password never worked. She couldn't get passed the login page. Do you understand what that means? That means even though yours worked perfectly and you had no problems doesn't mean it is the same for everyone.

Dale, I agree the update is great and I fought about it all afternoon, just look back in the pages 4 to 12 about lol :wink:

But when I tried again to get on after work (before maintenance) it was telling me my password was wrong while it wasn't... Even after reset and type in new password.

I had some issues with being redirected to the change page a couple of times. This update was really needed and I agree with what was done. The fact that there were several resets of the security update was going to mean problems for those that had not logged in. That can be handled and there are a number of very good suggestions on this forum to do so. DO NOT ROLL BACK I would rather the new security measures remain but maybe give everyone time to think then implement them.

I want this update it is really needed for the safety of all guilds.

I don't care about the AH but the mail box better get extended I have stuff that needs to rotate through :shock:

I've been following the entire thread and all I did was "FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS", not panic and go all crazy "OMG I have to put numbers and symbols in my password, and ZOMG I have to capitalize a letter". Bunch of hogwash if you ask me. I'm just fed up and sick and tired of the damn whiners. Hoof, Grim, Forn and the like must Truly love what they do to put up with you people sometimes.
