Lost Password Form To Receive Update

[hrtbrk]

Today's news reveals that TNT is working on a new Lost Password form, and there will be some changes. Most noticebly, it will no longer be a password request and will instead be a password reset!

 

Once the changes take effect, you'll receive a link via email to reset your password if you forget it.

I think that's a much better idea ... this will provide more security ...

I agree. It`s nice to have this updated! :D

Yeah, very good idea. Well done, TNT :)

It's a really nice idea. Better for all us.

I don't think this is a good idea because say someone gets into your email and changes the password to something you do not know? At least this keeps it the same.

I think this is a good idea and it sounds like it provides more security.

When I was 13, I had an "lost password" sent to my re-created hotmail account. (My cousin had remade it). She used the old password to get on the account. Had they had this option before, this would not have happened. I'm very happy with the alteration.

Password resetting is exactly what all other websites do when you lose your password, so Neo is just catching up with the rest of the internet. As a matter of fact, this was something they SHOULD have done long ago, because requesting is never as secure and might also be to blame for many hacked/lost accounts (like the post above).

For some reason, someone/something always requested my "lost" passwords almost daily, so I was obviously a little concerned and swapped my active accounts to a new address. I still do get that email every few days on the old email, though.

 

I'm glad they've decided on this change, since I'd always thought it was odd they'd send out all of your info just like that when they're so careful about everything else. It'll leave less worry for everyone in that regard, but I'm going to be pretty annoyed if I start getting sent links to reset my passwords, instead!

I wasn't even aware your password was sent to you in an email if you requested it until I forgot mine a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked and was wondering why they didn't just have a password reset as that's what I was expecting. Glad they're changing it now! :)
