April 10, 200521 yr I have thought about this for ages (even posted as a suggestion on the runescape forums but they payed no attention) that to help us stop hackers/scammers is to put bank account pin numbers on the bank which is only setable and changable from your account settings Tell me wat u think
April 10, 200521 yr Similar idea's have been suggested before, but the problem with yours is that the account pin can be keylogged. The idea i liked was setting it in-game, you dont type it in, you press the numbers that come up.
April 10, 200521 yr The problem is, instead of "I GOT HACKED OMG HELP ME!!!11!!!!1!" posts, you'd see "I FORGOT MY PIN NUMBER OMG HELP ME!!!11!!!!!1!!1!!" posts.

April 11, 200521 yr good suggestion qwert. oh ya nvm there are some problems alot of people have dynamic ip addresses which mean they change every now and then. and some people might play at multiple places. Xtreme iTalk

April 11, 200521 yr Let's face it, if someone wants into your account that bad, it's just a minor inconvenience. The idea is that your password should be enough in the first place.
April 11, 200521 yr I always thought of this idea for use with safes in POH's. You got a spinning roulette wheel attached to your safe: "Click use safe" 1. You click a number. (1-9 and 0) 2. The wheel spins randomly. 3. You click the next number. 4. 4 or 5 number input. But, like you guys said, "what if you forgot the pin?" Only thing I can think of is recovery questions (oh god), or bury the code in a random spot with a spade (lol).
April 11, 200521 yr And you would have some clues then in you're bank so you would know where you dug the code... Only problem is you can't acces your bank :lol:
April 11, 200521 yr Guess What .. If you have to enter ur Pin everytime you log in that can be a pain in the rear. i log in and out probably 10-15 times a day.
April 12, 200521 yr I think it would be possible to detect a hacker when someone with a quite different IP empties all valuable items of your bank. This script shouldn't be too sensitive so someone can give away a phat to a friend without problems, but when a player would suddenly give away or drop all expensive items of his bank, something fishy is going on, and the account should be put on hold until someone can prove that he is the true owner of the account.

April 12, 200521 yr i have seen a keylogger that, when you click the mouse, shows the coordinates of where the mouse was clicked, so an on-screen keypad wouldnt be good unless the number moved around each time the bank screen is activated like.... one time it could be: 9 4 2 1 7 0 3 8 6 and another time it could be: 0 3 7 4 9 1 6 8 2 just random placements of numbers so a coordinate logger cant tell what number you hit
April 15, 200521 yr only setable and changable from your account settings Tell me wat u think Then, if they have your password, which they most likely will, they'll log into your account settings and change it. :D It really has
April 15, 200521 yr Maybe u click ur pass in in the first place. But, they little keyboard on the screen that u would type ur pass in would randomly change into different combinations/formations
November 21, 200619 yr The problem is, instead of "I GOT HACKED OMG HELP ME!!!11!!!!1!" posts, you'd see "I FORGOT MY PIN NUMBER OMG HELP ME!!!11!!!!!1!!1!!" posts. Personally, PIN recovery questions might help. Let's say my PIN number was my house number. (lame number, just exampile) When you enter your PIN number, you get the question "What is my house number?" It's a little reminder for your PIN. My recovery question would be something like "What is a Destini music channel?" so it can be very vague (If any of you understood even a bit what I typed, I know your first and last names.) That way, it's kinda hard to forget your PIN. Thank the world for spell checkers.
November 22, 200619 yr This post is very old, lol. Maybe a Jagex mod read this and took the idea? Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak
