Password Recovery System - [Mine GO BOOM] January 23, 2003
So people can finally stop bugging me/priitk/ghost ship/etc:
Password recovery by e-mail feature has been added to SSC database server. Feature will be rolled out in 2 phases:
1. Setting e-mail address phase, starting from January 29 During this time users are able to set their e-mail address by issuing command ?setemail email@add.ress. Users who haven't set e-mail address using that command will have a notification message to set it when they log in.
This phase will last 2-4 weeks.
NOTE: New accounts that are created don't get that question, as e-mail address is also asked by Continuum when new user is created.
If, and if yes, under what circumstances ?setemail will be available after end of this phase is not decided yet.
2. Normal operation
When user loses password for some name, he can log in using different name and ussue command ?lostpassword playername which causes new randomly-generated temporary password to be sent to e-mail address associated with the user name. Regular (original) password for that user will still work, new password is additional password, player use to log in and change regular password. Temporary password is valid for 24h.
