E-mail Confirmation For Payout Address change

by tucsondirect · · Post #1921

(E-mail Confirmation For Payout Address change) I know this one has a lot of leg work, but it would be a great increase in security, if payout address changes must be confirmed via e-mail.(not Percentages)

Also failed login attempts in excess of 5 failures from an ip range not previously authenticated, should cause an account lockout. :idea: (or just 5 failed login attempts)

Edited for clarification

The E-Mail confirmation is a difficult issue that I hope tuscondirect will address.

The problem is that we don't take E-Mails now because customers are often concerned about privacy. If we start associating E-Mails with accounts, that brings up privacy concerns.

Do you believe the need for a feature like this outweighs the privacy concerns?

Maybe instead of e-mail address, user would be required to input one of their payout addresses(if assigned), and make a change so the dashboard only shows the first and last 6 Characters of an existing payout addresses (or implement a PIN system... but that could be a problem for forgetful users.... they should always know/ be able to find their payout address ;) )

Edited to add, policy should be put in place to only manually unlock an account if the user submits a message signed by their wallet address requesting that prohashing.com removes the lockout from their account, and that the signed message comes from an address that was associated with their account BEFORE the lockout occurred
