systems should re-issue passwords to the persons e-mail that signed up when compromised, then it should be up to the webmaster to manually kill the account if they see it being abused

an account should NEVER be completely shut off automatically, its just a bad idea.........


maybe not a large program, but a VERY popular site with many thousands of members - i think i'm well qualified to speak on this

putting a b/w limit on your users HELPS stop ripping, but if you have a pass being shared it also helps stop it

if you have a password being used during the same time frame, from different locations, its OBVIOUS its being shared. a b/w limit isnt needed in that case - a password re-issue & even a temporary "block" is necessary at that time



anyway, we're both agreeing to the same thing, that re-issuing passwords is good
