A PIN for each CF account
![El][te](https://z8games.akamaized.net/cfna/forum/customavatars/50/navatar_5810650.gif){kind=avatar}
It would be nice if each CF account get a 4 numbers PIN (the owner choose the code) then we put a check in a checkbox of the choices. For example if the choices are
A PIN for:
Black market purchase
Buy items in shop
Sell owned weapons
Buy items in mall
Chat
Play games
Remove friends
(more)
we put a check after the option we want. So if I chooses for example a PIN for black market purchases, then if I come to buy black market crates it ask for my PIN.
This will help people who have shared their account or got "hacked" to stay safe. The "hacker" or friend that is using the account cannot do everything he want in it until he get the PIN. If you want to remove some options of what the PIN will be used to then you will have to write your PIN again. If you have forgotten your PIN, you can write your email for the "I forgot my password" and the info will be sent to you. I hope that my idea is good.

Another Z8games uses the same system, you know METIN2? u.u'
A lot of games uses it, its a good idea but it will fail against a simply keylogger when you use it for the first time one time you got infected.
If you want really to protect your account I may suggest A system with an authenticator like this:
http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=1100000822
its generates a serie of numbers linked to the serial number of the authenticator. This is used on Banks too. -

That's a little extreme. I doubt people who are dumb enough to download keyloggers and give out account PW's will be in the market for something like this. Maybe some other people are different, but I probably wouldn't care if my acct got hacked via some extremely unlikely scenario. At that point, I probably deserved whatever it is that happened. Games like WOW where items and leveling are literally people's LIVES are more suited to this kind of advanced protection than a game where most people just collect a few guns and shoot at each other, and where rank really isn't that important. -

I agree with you
, but if we had more extreme attitudes in Crossfire like the Blizzard have with hacks/lammers we would have a better game. -
I think it's actually a good idea... if nothing else, it would certainly help to eliminate certain frustrating mis-clicks. Hit "purchase temporary weapon" in the coupons menu instead of "cancel"? No worries, your coupons are safe and sound. Hit "repair all" instead of "replays"? The days you spent breaking your M16 won't have been in vain. Account hacked? You're dozens of GP guns won't be resold for pennies on the dollar, ect ect.
Also, Runescape didn't "invent" pin-numbers... it's just a common additional identity guard used primarily by banks. The fact that people are saying that this idea is a rip off of a flash-based RPG doesn't make much sense. -

I have a better solution...
1 - Don't give your password to ANYONE, not even to your mother!
2 - Don't even try to hack!
3 - Keep your anti-virus updated!
Follow this 3 steps and your account will be safe, for ever!
Oh, about ''sharing accounts'', you can't do this and you'll get banned if you do!
