Title: Online wallet warning.
Post by: MoonShadow on June 13, 2011, 03:38:14 AM
It was bound to happen, today someone was trying to reset my password to MtGox.  Make sure your passwords are strong.  MtGox really needs a multi stage captcha.

I agree with this. mtgox and tadehill accounts are no different that etrade, scottrade or any exchange trading.
We whould have stronger account numbers, with better passwords and a capcha.

i recommend at least a 20 characters password for both email and mtgox account (and not the same)
I use this website for strong password generation

or set up a local email server that can take mail from outside, but only be accessed inside your LAN.

but the easier way would be to use gmail 2 step. with that, in order to log in you need to supply a code from a text message from your phone.
