security key fob

i think adding an optional security key fob to sto be good like wow or swtor use with option of either a key fob keyring you can order or a free app for android or apple smart phones

I second this motion. A fob wouldn't be the best way to go owing to the cost of production, but an iPhone/Android app would be fantastic. This would protect people from having their accounts TRIBBLE.

But it costs money to make those apps, I hear some people say. It also costs money to have a staff member investigate a TRIBBLE account and restore it if necessary. The cost of making an app is fixed. The cost of paying someone to investigate continues whilst accounts can be TRIBBLE.

yea and like wow and swtor cryptic can offer a in game item or mini store incentive for having a security key added to your account

captw

I'd like one as well. Either physical or app. Especially since we now know the account guard can be bypassed.

While nice, I doubt PWE would approve the money needed for such an system.

well as wow and swtor has they stsem it cant be too hard to do and would make it far more secure maybe TRIBBLE a ship that represents security that all sides get a racial nutral ship

And here's where the cookie crumbles, or at least the sense of security you think you're going to get from such a device.

The cold hard fact is that while multiple layers of security is a good thing, nothing is going to prevent a determined hacker from getting in.

And the company in the article makes fobs for Military applications, you really think ones that cryptic would make would be any better?? Not to mention not everyone has a cell phone or other device for an app.
