Someone suggested on an other thread that email address changes be subject to confirmation by the original email address:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291552.0While this may be a good idea for most use cases, in case of a "lost" email address that might lock somebody out of his own bitcointalk.org account.
I thought about it and asked myself:
Wouldn't it be nice (™ The Beach Boys) if we could add a private key as a security feature?
I.e. changing your email address or password could require a message signed with your private key or something similar. Maybe as an opt-in security feature for experts, since not everybody may be able to handle that.
Edit: changed private key to address in title. I obviously want to keep my private
parts keys to myself
