Title: Help tell me about the BTC-e login surprise
Post by: Bit_Happy on April 12, 2013, 12:11:54 AM
Edit: The good news is in post #6

Suddenly I was logged out and
USE EMAIL TO LOGIN, NOT YOUR ACCOUNT NAME

I had to reset the password, since I didn't memorize it and the browser only auto-fills with the username not the email.
After reset the new password doesn't work and I only have one more chance!

Where is the best thread about this (the exact post if a long thread) please.
This is BS.
Do they fix it quickly?

Login name was a security exploit as its used in the troll box.  Good to see them switch to email addresses, would be even better if they went to 2-factor.

I can log in but when I try to see my profile or finances I get this message:

"Your authorization is needed to browse this page"

I can't get to those pages to move money or anything.  THe site seems very shady.

No confirmation to my emails.

Does anyone know more about this site?

My correct password doesn't work with the email.
Two questions which also might help others someday:

1) Does anyone know if the password recovery system Ever works for anyone?

2) I found a scary number of complaint threads, but cannot find the post where the admin discusses how to avoid getting locked out.
Which thread is that?
Thanks

Good news
1) Use Chrome browser not Firefox for the BTC-e site. You can be logged in and trade that way*
2) I am OK for now, thanks

*Occasional logout bug with Chrome, but not a huge problem; With Firefox = "forget it" / currently FUBAR
