  Re: LUGNET Memberships
 
(...) ouch. How easy is it for a thief to get your customer number? How many digits is your PIN? (...) natch. :) (...) Disable accounts on repeated fails and you make it trivial to DoS someone. Disable IP addresses and you lock out the innocent on (...) (26 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: partial set notation
 
(...) Can we have the notes fields (both public and private) available on the "My Collection" page? I know I'd find it useful. (I currently maintain my own web page for my collection, which has things like last year's happy meal sets which don't (...) (26 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: LUGNET Memberships
 
(...) Actually, all they need to know is my customer number and a PIN to view my account records. I would consider my bank account records much more valuable than my LUGNET profile, no offense :) If the concern is script kiddies cracking accounts, (...)

  Re: LUGNET Memberships
 
(...) Yup! Like on a yellow stickie note on a monitor? So I've been told. :-) But that little insecurity is more secure overall than having a system full of bad pw's that any script kiddie anywhere in the world can crack while sleeping. BTW, if (...)

(...) I started doing that about 2 weeks ago. It generates a password, sends an email with that password, then stores the encrypted password. The membership packet then contains a backup password. In the case of older members, or if someone deleted (...) (26 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: LUGNET Memberships
 
(...) The insecurity of written down passwords is when they are put someplace accessible and obvious. This is done sufficiently often by people that it is often treated as an inherent problem with writing down passwords. One trick I have used to (...)

  Re: LUGNET Memberships
 
(...) Wouldn't it be easier to e-mail the forgotten password to the e-mail address your members input upon registration? That e-mail could be intercepted but I don't think a lot of people would go into that kind of trouble to be able to look at (...) (26 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) In the spreadsheet I use to track my sets, I have a column for "missing parts" and a column for "missing minifigures". I also have a column for notes. One problem is that I don't update this as I trade parts, and of course also don't enter my (...) (26 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
