Cindy Donovinh here. We just received this bulletin at our station:


"Lots of Gaians have sent us feedback about our password retrieval system, so we've made it simpler and more streamlined. We will also be phasing out security questions within a week or so, because they were preventing quite a few people from retrieving their passwords and account info.

We hope this will make it easier for people who've forgotten their usernames or passwords to get back to Gaia!"

Its going to make it simple for hackers, all they'll need is your email. confused

Some people don't even remember which email account they used to sign up with or they can't get into it anymore. neutral

And no, when you use password retrieval, they reset your password with a jumbled mix of letters and numbers. As soon as you sign back in, you can change your password to whatever you want it to be. I would know. [1000 Words] was hacked and that's how I retrieved the account fairly quickly.

If it's easier to get the password, then it's easier to get the account.
