Yes it is a very good mod I use many of their pro versions myself

vBSecurity v1.1.3

Changes to Existing Features:

Mass Password Reset

• Now uses a more secure method of generating temporary passwords
• Enables greater security for users, avoiding brute force attacks on their passwords before the passwords can be changed

EDIT: Answered on DBTech forums. ANSWERED HERE

I'm getting the following message when I try to change any vBSecurity settings in ACP.
----------
"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /admincp/vbsecurity.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
----------

vB 4.2.2 - vBSecurity v1.1.3

Fresh vB install with a hand full of members and forums/post imported from phpbb3

Only other mod installed is DBTech Copyright Management v2.1.1
Have now disabled both in Manage Products but am still unable to change any settings.

UPDATE: Just installed vBShout and I'm getting the same Forbidden message when I try to change the settings.
"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /admincp/vbshout.php on this server."

So I uninstalled vBSecurity and deleted all the files but this hasn't fixed it.

All other vB settings changes work fine, it's only DBTech mods that produce the error.

I've looked for any .htaccess and there's none and checked file permissions which all DBTech .php files are set to 0644 where all other vB .php files on the server are 0600.

After ugrading to the latest version there seems to be a problem when a standard password change is effected. Please could you advise? The below error is displayed :

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.2:

The error means you are missing a table but that table was and is not there and never was in this plugin so I dont see how you are getting the error unless you edited the xml

Have not edited the XML. This just came about after upgrading to the latest release from the DB site. I believe it's tied in with one of the new features in the new release.

This wait for the coder to reply as they will know but I cant see that table or if its part of a table name so this see what the coder has to say

vBSecurity v1.1.4

New Features:

Scheduled Password Reset

• Enforces a password reset for a user upon next login, via the User Manager in the ACP
• Mimicks the "Password Expiry" feature in vBulletin
• Great for forcing users to provide a more secure password

(Pro) Mass Scheduled Password Reset

• Enforces a password reset for every account upon next login
• Mimicks the "Password Expiry" feature in vBulletin
• Great for forcing users to provide a more secure password

Did not install the latest until now so I see the coder has put in the new table to the update
