| Posted 2 years ago (07/27/08 11:31pm) Okay, so here are some possible solutions, and their problems:Solution 1: Just allow lost password recovery based on username (as well as email). It'd act the same as using the email address. Problem: How does a user know what email address the confirmation is sent to? Solution 2: Allow lost password recovery based on username (as well as email), and show the user the email address the confirmation was sent to. Problem: Full email addresses would then be available to the general public just by punching a username into the tool. Solution 3: Allow lost password recovery, etc., like #2, but only show the email domain (i.e. @yahoo.com), not the full address. Problem: How will the user know what account to check? Solution 4: ??? Any ideas? |
