Improved Security update

Postby Captain Jack » Sun Jan 24, 2016 5:22 pm

Greetings,

We have upgraded the login system security.

In detail:

Passwords Encryption
-Game Passwords are now encrypted using the best methods available. As a result, even if Pirates Glory user login details are ever compromised, your passwords will remain safe.
-Game never collects/stores a non-encrypted password anywhere therefore no staff is ever able to see it.
-Forum Passwords are no longer related to game passwords. The game uses different, automatically generated passwords to log you in the forums. In this way, if forums are ever compromised, then your game account will not be compromised.

More info:
-Google and Facebook passwords are never visible to us or stored anywhere in any form.
-Use https://www.piratesglory.com/ to login in order to ensure that no one can intercept your data.

Retrieving a lost password
-Retrieving a lost password now requires extra confirmation (this way, someone who knows your email will not be able to reset your password).
-Players with invalid emails, make sure to update your game email to a valid one to ensure account ownership.

Something not working?
-It is possible to issue login problems. In this case, let us know at https://www.piratesglory.com/contact.php
