So a second password?

Yes basically. But there is a big difference with a 'second password' and this feature that I'm talking about... What happens is that this passkey generates a new password for you every 15 - 30 seconds. You wear this passkey on your keychain or whatever, if you lose it you can easily call them to reset it, but I don't lose my keys so I never have a problem with that. I think this would be an excellent second layer of protection for superadmins and those with query permissions.

You log in with your current password, + the new generated passcode key in order to be able to access the account. Otherwise your locked out until you call in and have them reset it.

I'd love that as a vb extra.

I still don't get it....

Yea. any way to increase the security would be great..

then add 8 more passwords and email verifcation everytime someone logs in, ontop of that, only let them login if the mac address matches.

Sounds like someone is being silly. IP verification can be useful IF you have a static ip (like on a corporate network). I would guess not all vb installations are public ......

I understand that, the point im trying to make is, vB already provides alot of security as it is.

Unless you have an easy to guess password, even the administrator can't find out what it is (without hacking, assuming they have left the current system in place).

Adding another password, ect, is worthless, because then its just a matter of finding out another peice of data.

If you need more security, it gets harder after requring a password and a username.. esp online

I totally agree with Zachery.

I thnk that if people spent a little more time creating hard to crack password , they may not have as much problems with people cracking their accounts.

And forum admins would have more time to improve the boards.

I think if you want your system to be that much more secure, stick it behind a VPN and create VPN tunnels for your users.
