Well, many people might forget their password here in the community, but not often.

When you click it, it will bring you to a page saying Too Bad!

I was wondering if maybe there could be a contact page where you could contact an Administrator to change your password. Moderators on the forum cannot, however, but I think Administrators can. So, if you ever forgot your password, it will lead you to a page saying on one side:

Contact Damen

Your Email: ________

What Do you want your new Password to be: ______

Security Questions To Make Sure it was you:

How Long Have you been on the forum: ______

When did you join the forum: ______

How Many Likes do you have: _______

What Rank Are You: _________

How Many Posts Have You Made: _______

What is your title: _________ (e.g.) Mine is Expect More, Pay Less

What is one thing in your signature: __________ (e.g.) I could say one of my things of my signature is this:

So, there could be security questions to make sure it is you.

And On the other side:

Contact Cyberwolf:

Your Email: ________

What do you want your new Password to be: ______

Security Questions To Make Sure it was you:

How Long Have you been on the forum: ______

When did you join the forum: ______

How Many Likes do you have: _______

What Rank Are You: _________

How Many Posts Have You Made: _______

What is your title: _________ (e.g.) Mine is Expect More, Pay Less

What is one thing in your signature: __________ (e.g.) I could say one of my things of my signature is this:

So, there could be security questions to make sure it is you.

And then it would send an email to Cyberwolf or Damen saying you forgot your password, and you want to change it to the one you requested.

I think it would be a good idea. Comment your thoughts on it!

Nice idea! I had an issue where somebody knew mine, but Damen kindly changed it for me! It think users should be able to easily change their passwords for safety reasons. Great suggestion, keep coming up with them :)

Bad idea. I could say I am you for example. He can't just change your password without no evidence it's actually you.

To many security questions. If you forgot your password and you have a long title/mood. It wouldn't make a difference.
It should be.

Well, you would only have to know like half or three-quarters of them to verify it is you.

I think that would make it easier to hack into people's accounts. So I think there should be a different way of proving it is you.

Please edit to... Proof Below:

In-Game Password: _______
In-Game Username: _______
Forum Login Username: _____ (example: iMoose)

Yeah, that's pretty annoying. There should be an in-game change, where it brings you to a page where it says "Confirm your Change of Entercode" and so you won't have to login and ask a staff member to change your password.

Good Idea, when it says Too Bad it feels like no one cares about anyone!
So good post DSC.

Anyone can view those questions on the profile page.
Exactly, maybe we should have a pin on the forum. If we loose our password, we type the pin in, and there will be a page to reset your password. Although, you can't view this pin will logged in, its only a one time view and you have to remember it. If not, then nothing can be happened.
