I was logging into my account one day and I was like, I wonder if will could ever guess my PWD. So I came up with this idea where if you get 3 wrong PWDs to an account the ROBLOX website will be locked for your IP address only. It will stay locked for 15 minutes. Until that 15 minutes are up, you have to wait and remember to be a good person and not guess PWDs. (:

I believe we have to use a cap-captcha after 5 login attempts. Instead of locking IP's, a secret question would give users who are trying to log into their real account, a chance to log in. I like the general idea of a system to prevent this sort of situation, though.

Thanks! True. However, it easy to go around the cache!

That's why a secret question along with the cache would make it difficult, yet still accessible by the person(s) who really do own that account.

I'll support only if you can use your e mail to unlock. I have plenty of reasons for this, just don't feel like typing it.

A captcha would be nice, maybe a secet question too. And a verification from an online mailing account.

The PGer could just use proxy softwares like hotspot shield,tunnel bear etc. What about a idea like the steam guard?

No support. That method is extremely redundant, we already have captcha, and secret questions would allowo much EASIER PWD guessing.
