Warning to Blockland Forum users involving email validation

[SeventhSandwich]

With the new implementation of the key registration for most of the forum, email validation was removed. The danger with this, is that if you signed up after that happened with an email that doesn't exist, you're in serious danger of having your password taken.

The exploit comes from registering the non-existent email and sending a forgotten password request, which gives you the user's password. If you have registered with an email that doesn't exist solely for the purpose of signing up faster, It's highly advised you set it to an email that you own, so that this doesn't happen.

Also Jimmg is an starfish.

Jimmg-proof your accounts now, to stay safe.

Oh god lol.

Anyone stupid enough to use a false email probably deserves to have their account taken. Either way thanks for the heads up even if I didn't need.

You make a good point, but even I have, in the past used false emails on websites to sign up faster. Not here of course, and I haven't done it in a long time, but it's still important to know this.

Is this the forum e-mail registry thing under account settings?
if you're dumb enough to do a fake email you deserve it to be honest
