Hopefully this will improve the safety.

Noticed this when I logged on but when I didn't see it on the first page of this forum I assumed it was old news :P.
Anyway, it's about time they added this! People have asked for security things like this for ages, and although this isn't the best they could have done (Danubes mobile suggestion was better, like Facebook/Gmail) it's better than nothing :).

Hopefully they give us the option to use custom questions because I don't really like these ones.

Yeah that's the safest thing to do - unless you're like me and you'd probably forget :P.

Saw this on my clone, probably going to sort it out on my main account now. I do hope this isn't as flawed with the account lock feature previously as that had too many glitches, easily hacked accounts on that.

I saw this and activated it. Is it meant to pop up everytime I log in? I thought it was only if it was on a different PC but it's popped up twice for me now on the same laptop

More safety stuff, harder to get an account back also... hmm

I quite like this, I might use it as I don't use Habbo on other computers normally.

Finally set it up, however if you make random answers and then log on to another system you may not remember, could have another alternative to prove who you are in another way.

This is a definite flaw, the amount of users destined to forget is ridiculous, the Help Tool states there's nothing they can do about it, needs changing.

I don't like using this, as my computer often changes where it think it is, idk why... and my account would just always lock.

[iSherlock]

My account has been safe for years, so I didn't set any safety question :)

They brought the account lock which had glitches, this does too unfortunately and they appear the same as the previous one. Sometimes (not all) if you log on another PC/Tablet/Laptop that runs on the same network as you, it will lock (good) sometimes it doesn't until you're back on your regular device (bad). Happened with the safety lock so really it shows someone has been on your account but doesn't lock until you go back on it.
