Habbo Pass Change - Real reason

[Christopher.]

Davey-boy is correct in thinking this pass change is fishy (READ THE THREAD PROPERLY IT IS NOT FISHY THEY ARE JUST NOT TELLING YOU THE REAL REASON)
The real reason for this is due to a previous problem they have (to quote 2 previous Hobba Forum threads):

We don't care if you have changed it in the last hour, the last day, the last week - It needs changing NOW.

If you fail to change your account password NOW... Your account security will be as much use as a chocolate teapot next to a roaring fire.

Pass this message on to all your Hobba friends. Please change your password IMMEDIATELY.

Thank you.


As you can see they are able to see if you have changed your pass. They are just wanting you to change your pass because otherwise it will become "useless" somehow.
So the 50 creds are just an incentive to do so.
So go ahead and do it but now you know the real reason.

we have convered this, its not fishy, fgs read other threads will ya, we had a hobba admit that this is genuine

[Cheeseboy76]

:s Fishy
I aint changin I don't think it's hacked or not

[Tommy]

Its all for the best, and people that dont trust habbo are in bad security.

[Christopher.]

I am explaining why, read the thread you idiot.

[Rarelime]

Just goes to show how bad habbo are at securing details, and yet they advise us to keep things safe. ;)

[Christopher.]

Yes it also shows they don't tell us the truth.

[QuackMe]

:o It's another ' make your own habbo FREE And win an i-pod or your ideal habbo room' Humph, so sad..

[Bear-Max]

We're not morons. They should just be honest with us.

[TealArms]

what if u don't wanna be in the comp? cos i don't and cud u change ur pas to one then change it agen and still be able to log on

[Christopher.]

I just changed it to shut them up.

[GommeInc]

Cant they just tell ius to change it rather than let us do it through a competition? People who don't like competitions won't change their pass...

Who the hell don't wanna take part in compos - ESPECIALLY that kind of easy one!

[-mad-monkey-]

i had already changed my pass but the change was laggy and it didnt change unill right now

[Wootzeh]

You changing your pass alone wont make them shut up.


I just changed it to shut them up.

[Roboevil]

It doesn't say why the security of our account is at risk... or does it?

[Seacat]

Them threads are over a year old? Or a year old at least. Check date.

[Wizzdom]

so its not fishy and .co.uk is under control correct?

[FRISC0]

U idiot, those posts are from 2004! >.<

[Phila]

I was a hobba at the time when they were posted. I assume someone had hold of a number of hobba passwords, which is why we were all asked to change them. It is legit, i can assure you of that.

[-mad-monkey-]

so these posts have nothing to do with the comp at all....

lol

[GoldenBiscuit]

Well, I have changed mine, so I should be fine. I would have expected if it was fishy, staff would have removed it a long time ago.

The front page of UK Habbo: It doesn't say "Change your password now!" and ask for people saying Habbo will never ask you to change your p.w's, that means they will never say "Change your pass.word to xxxxx".

The point of the competition (as so many of you have pointed out and so few have listened ;) ) is to increase safety awareness and to actually get you to change your p.w's. Everyone should change them once a month at least just to be on the safe side.

So just to give a recap:

No Habbo isnt telling you to change you p.w, its saying if you want a chance to win some credits change your pass.

No its not telling you to change your pass.word due to lack of security on their part

Yes, it is for your account safety that you change your p.w

I hope that helped some of you

[Heterodox]

I think it sould be more like CHANGED URE PASS AND GET 25 CREDITS FREE! BUT RANDOMLY A WINNNER GETS 50 CREDITS. or something cues its unfair to do it this way

[SHlP]

Btw, I changed mine for my own reasons a few days before this CHANGE UJR PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY !!!!!111!!!!1111!! thing came up ???? shud i change again
