Suggestion For Stars Secure ID #
I requested a stars secure id the other day to discurage hackers/keyloggers. they gave me one just fine. the thing is that i was expecting it to be like a pin that is entered by clicking a kepad on the stars logging. but all it was is key entry. i'm not sure how that gives me any extra protection. how hard would it be for stars to put an encripted key pad in the software for members with a secure id?
is this something you would like to see?

That's a good idea, although some keylogging programs also record mouse clicks and/or screenshots. So it would be defeated in that case.

It would be a good start. People will always try and find a way to exploit it. With the money stars recieves from its player base though they should have a team developing ways to stay ahead.

The solution to all of this is a Two Factor Authentication bingo like card. You sign in and are prompted for a random set of numbers off the grid. This way you need to know your password AND actually have your card. It might be costly but I think they could offer it to people who want to pay for it.

ajml,
the current leading technology in this area involves a token with a number that changes every minute. i'm unsure whether it is a brand or a technique, but googling "rsa token" should get you more info on it if needed.

I think it should be optional, and maybe only require it when logging in from a different IP?

They are very good and must be feasible to roll out to a large group if someone like HSBC are able to do so.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, these things are really cheap - and at the end of the day Stars (or whoever) can pass the cost on directly to us players and we will gladly pay it. My mate works for Amec and they use these things for accessing secure areas, theyre pretty cool actually. Im only guessing, but it wouldnt shock me whatsoever if Stars is developing this technology behind the scenes.
