If you value your HF account here is some very good advice [All members please read]

I really do think this thread should be made a sticky, its so important also it would decrease the workload for the staff
having to deal with hacked accounts everyday.
What a great idea, nice share BS :).

It's an awesome advice.
I am going to do this asap :d

I store my passwords on Lastpass but my email could get hacked so easily.
I actually use 1 email for everything that is important to me,if that email will get hacked I am fucked.

Thanks.
There is a faster, cleaner, better way to do this. Hotmail allows you to create 5 alias emails to protect your real one. All you have to do is create one for HF. This email will be a MASK. You will NOT be able to login with it and you will not be able to get ANYTHING from it. All it will do is work as a mask. If someone sends a message to it, it will go to your real email (or you can choose to make a folder on hotmail to which the emails sent to the alias will go to). It cannot be hacked, nor doxed because it doesn't exist. It's nothing but a mask.
Never really thought about this before. Thanks alot, this will come in handy for so many.

Don't register the same email address on other online services also.

Most if not all members here should be using Gmail two step verification as it's fool proof due to it requiring phone verification.

Yes Gmail is the best way i guess 🙂

I also have done this before. But this was very helpful. If members read this it might just prevent them from getting their account hacked.

Same here, my gmail is well secured, nobody can get in even ratter too.
