SUGGESTION FOR IMPROVEMENT by GeckoX on 10-13-2004 at 02:47 AM

Hi there...

I have a suggestion for improving upon the next version of Messenger Plus!

I was screwed over today when I forgot my password to my log files, and as a result 2 years worth of logs are now lost to me. It's my own fault for not remembering the password or writing it down, but it made me think of how I would never want anyone else to endure this frustration.

So! To prevent it, I recommend the creation of a secret question / secret answer system like a lot of password retrieval processes use. The answer and question themselves would be stored in an encrypted file as a security measure to ensure that they can not be accessed by a malicious user.

With the above improvement, people will still be able to benefit from the great security of Messenger Plus without suffering the risk of being locked out by that very system.

Cheers!

I think either the answer would be like to remind you of your password like a hint or it lets you reset your password.

What do you think would be better i think the Secret Question will reset your password.

but (y) on the idea
