Es ist also für jeden User erforderlich, sein neues Passwort mit folgendem Befehl anzufordern:
/msg Q REQUESTPASSWORD your.email@address.here
your.email@address.here ersetzt ihr dabei natürlich durch die E-Mailadresse, mit der ihr den Q-Account registriert habt.
Dear Users,
You hear everyday about how the security for this and that is getting broken, how someone had their credit card used in Afghanistan, how someone got their QuakeNet account compromised and their channel being taken.
To this end, we have made a few steps to help keep your accounts secure. Every user has had a new password generated for their account, which may be requested with the REQUESTPASSWORD command:
/msg Q REQUESTPASSWORD your.email@address.here
You will then receive an email with your new password and will be able to login once again.
If you change your password, can we suggest a few tips on how to make them more secure!
* Never use a simple word, the name of your pet perhaps, or even your telephone number.
* Use numbers or extra characters for extra security.A good example of a password is the first characters of a phrase you can easily remember, say you play the lottery, your password might be:
[I] [w]ant [t]o [w]in [b]y 2006[!]
Which turns into Iwtwb2006!
Which I think you can agree, is a lot more secure than „ilovefishbot“.
Best Regards
QuakeNet Security Team
