Security reminder

Greetings, fellow players. As you may or may not know there has been a password leak on other communities. This saddens us, as someone's personal data such as a password is the server's duty to keep safe, and while Lawless Roleplay takes this very seriously and is doing a great job to keep this information private, we could also use your help. Here are some reminders on how to go about your password. If you have recently played in other communities, please change your password.

That being said, I will post @Shock's tips for a good password, which are still relevant and useful.

Have a unique password for Lawless Roleplay
You should always use a unique password for each website and server you use. By doing that, you ensure that if one account gets compromised, the rest are safe. Don't worry, here on Lawless Roleplay we treat your data with due care. Your information is never shared with anyone, and is salted and encrypted in our database.

Use a strong password - and change it frequently
Use a strong password. It should have 10 characters or more, with both uppercase, lowercase, and symbols. That way it is much harder to guess your password.

Never enter your Lawless Roleplay credentials outside of our domain or SAMP server
Make sure you are actually on Lawless Roleplay's website when entering your password. Phishing is a common technique to steal passwords. Phishing is a form of scamming that involves posing as Lawless Roleplay and tricking you into sending your password to them. If you have clicked an external link, make sure the connection is secure (green lock in the address bar), and that the domain is lawlessrp.com, like so:

Lawless staff will NEVER ask for your password
Members of the Lawless Roleplay staff will never ask for your password. Common attempts to steal passwords involve players posing as an admin to obtain passwords. Don't give anyone your password under any circumstances.

Take these seriously and you will have no problems.
Stay safe.

I think from a security perspective it would make sense if you actually mention the name of the community that got breached. I believe the importance of security of the members of this community overrides the 'risk' of mentioning their name.

If you're too lazy to change your forums account, activate two step verification and use authy for it, even with the password they cannot access without having the code.
