meant to quote this as well...I agree that the power ultimately lies in the player to choose a unique password, but there's really no good reason explaining why this isn't a beneficial addition

I understand what your saying - I had this in my head a few months back.

I think we should have an option with a back up email - so it's like 2 emails.

Just my 2 cents... not compulsory.


well unless you are facing a computer hacker or simply tell somebody your email, there is no easy way to figure out someone's email through haypi. I'm not sure how you would knowingly link an email to a specific haypi player without being told. As i said before, this won't necessarily stop accounts from being hacked. It will just provide an extra layer of security to prevent the hacker from changing the password and email so the owner is locked out.


Use the edit button in the future ;) also, the only way a hacker could get your email easily is if you have a palringo account registered with the same email, so you would need a different email if you had palringo

And yes, this isn't a foolproof method, and there probably never will be one. But it could stop a lot of accounts being lost in my opinion
