Does Habbo not by now reject you from logging in if you fail to provide a correct password for an account after a set amount of login attempts?

It makes you enter a capcha, if you you fail a certain number of times, now.

exatly.

Methinks there are a few jealous habbos who would love to have a 'unique name' and because they can't, they throw criticism at the people who do.

Bruters have found a way around that but Habbo are on the case. I've been told that in a future update they will be adding a capcha to DOB to stop people being able to change passwords / emails unlawfully.

Just had someone ask if I'd bruted my account...I didn't even know what that meant! It's not bruted, I was what, 8, when I made itBut, why would someone bother with love1000? Any idea if 01 accounts get asked this often? Shouldn't think I'd be bothered too much.
