Rowan Amore Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I hadn't logged in an old account for ages. I have a new computer since the last time I logged her in. I received an email today from LL. Is this something new? Your Second Life account has been accessed from a new machine.

PheebyKatz Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Wow! That's potentially annoying but still kinda neato. If you get one of those when you haven't done anything, tell them immediately, cos that's to help you notice if someone's haxx0red your account. I mean, I hate notices and stuff myself, but if someone used my SL account (or bank card, for that matter) from some IP address in Tasmania, or a computer in their prison cell, I'd wanna know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylinbridges Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) I upgraded my C:/ boot drive to an SSD, and got that email first time I logged in, after moving my OS to the drive. They use hardware changes to create your password hash code, in addition to other changes. Edited November 8, 2023 by Jaylinbridges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
