All very simple for the user, easy to implement, automated and secure.
Why not?
as I said before in another thread, I believe theymos doesn't want automation on account recovery
he needs to review case by case and determine if account recovery should be granted
See what currently this is the only way to recover a forum, but the process is all manual.
I am proposing the same thing, but in an automated and simple way.
sometimes for certain things automated process is bad and vulnerable to abuse
and doing it manually can discover something that an automated process cannot apprehend
We'll find a middle ground then...
First, the user do it the process automated (described in the first topic), and this triggers an alert for the theymos to will check the request.
So, Theimos isn't wasting time with fake requests and can still analyze if it recovers or not the account, based on its criteria.
