New Habbo safety lock!

Very nice idea. Hopefully it will prevent from people getting their accounts compromised via password leaks and other such things. :)

This would prevent a new pass being sent to your email, in the event of your email being compromised.

Absolutely. I think I remember reading something on twitter about a "unique code", like a PIN code, being developed.

good idea. why wasn't it implemented sooner...

Whilst this feature may prove to be ineffective if the hacker has access to your email, if you secure your email with two step verification such as googles it is extremely difficult for a hacker to gain access to your email account and thus your habbo one also if its linked to it

http://support.google.com/accounts/b...&answer=180744

Once enabled every time you log into a location that has not been used before you have to enter a personalised code, which can be generated on iPhone or Android with the Authenticator app. If you would rather you can have the code texted to you on request also instead

Quick question, is it possible to alter your e-mail on Habbo? I'm sure you can add a secondary e-mail but I don't know if you can make that your primary e-mail. I'd like to replace my AOL email loging with my Gmail account considering that seems to be the most secure at the moment :P.

Good idea but I access mine from 2 diff places so will wait till I move back home to enable it.

Nice idea though.. kind of

I think for both of these there isn't anything Habbo can do and it isn't there problem. People have mentioned two step verification for email. One of the best things to do to is making sure your email account has a unique password compared to everything else - the problem is if someone gets one password for an account on a site, the first thing the person will do as a hacker is usually attempt to use that password with the email address supplied and then in most cases they then can reset all the passwords associated with the email address - using a separate password usually will stop this.

Okay guys.......... I can confirm this works.
Last night I tried signing into Habbo on my iPad (I don't know why ok ;l) but it turns out it's a different IP (obviously ;l) and it's locked me out. I can still get on Habbo and stuff but I can't trade with anyone.... which is the whole point.

Someone gave me some coins to play in my grabber 10 mins ago... I owe him 8c as he won, but I can't trade - you can receive furni but not give it! Soooo, now he probably thinks I've scammed him because I can't say anything to explain. I've sent the unlock email... but it's not come through... so I can get on Habbo but I can't trade or anything!!!!

Do you think Habbo blocked emails with the mute thing? SOMEONE HELP!! :P

It wouldn't be a different IP on your iPad unless you weren't corrected to the same network as your computer.
