I might be worrying about nothing here, but...

I changed my pw for my main account today, and just now I logged on and accidentally switched two characters around. So obviously I got the "Bad password" page (along with a grumpy-looking christmas kacheek lol) so I typed in my word again and it also asked me to put my birthdate in. So I did... but the last time I logged in was two hours ago. Is this just another step to security installed by TNT or have I missed something or have I read the new features too quickly? o_O Thanks!

I'm not sure when this was implemented, but a few days when I was trying to guess the password for my main, I got the same thing :)

It's not a new thing, it's been there for a while... I think it's just to deter people from trying to crack other peoples passwords.

I do know, if you havnt signed on to an account for 6+ months, they ask for your password. If you get that right, you're asked for your birthday as well. I know the password to one of my old side accounts, but cant remember the birthday. And I created the account 3 almost 4 years ago.

I think they've now changed it to anytime you request or change a password, you need to do the birthdate thing at least once. My boyfriend forgot his password and requested it, and he had to put in his birthdate, and it had only been a few weeks since he was on last.
