Default Limit Account Sharing
Can anyone think of a way to limit massive account sharing?

By massive, I mean 30 - 40 people using the same username/password within 10 minutes. I



I don't even know if that could be made into a hack. Can anyone think of any other ways to limit account sharing?


Edit: update, an attempt was made in 2006 for vbulletin 3.5!

It doesn't work now, but at least we know it's possible.

It is impossible that 2 individuals are using the same account at the same time.

Yeah, people on my forums share accounts all the time. It is possible.

When two different IP's are accessing the same account at the same time:
1) they are both logged out
2) the password is changed
3) an email is sent to the account owner explaining that his account may be compromised and requesting he change the password
That is an awesome idea! put me on the beggers list of this (must have)

Then please explain me how on earth 2 HTTP Requests can arrive at the same time, keeping in mind that IP is a serial communication Protocol ...

It is impossible!

By "the same time" I presume you mean simultaneously...

If so, I was logged in both at home (via direct connection) and at Uni (different IP) and was browsing my board under my username on both browsers...

If you mean at the exact same instance in time, I doubt that anyone could do that precisely...

Alright, since the exact same time is impossible, within a set amount of seconds.

Just something to stop excessive sharing, like other sites do.
