    Default Giving your 'Friends' your email address... Dont do it!

    Just thought I would warn every one about giving out email addresses....

    ... No matter how tempting it may be to avoid the filter and give your email to your 'friends' don't!

    I made the mistake about 3 years ago, I knew she couldnt get my password for my email by giving it her or for my habbo - However - I forgot about my secret question... and when you press forgot password for your email its tells you your secret question all you need was the answer...

    Not thinking, we were randomly talking and we got onto the topic of my secret question and like the dumb person I was back then she got the answer out of me (obviously I didnt know she was after that, I even forgot what my secret question was!)... thus meaning she could say to habbo I forgot my password, go into my email and get a new password!

    I lost all the furni I owned aswell as the Habbo I was on.

    So even if you think its just an email address, what harm can it do? .....Please dont !!!

    There really is no reason not to, you just have to have half a brain cell and work out how they could gain an entry into your email account, the smartest thing to do is to make your secret answer totally diffrent from the actual question, that way if it comes up into a convo you'll know you can say it without giving them an advantage.
