I think some form of 2 factor authentication (
example) would probably be better, I know a few people who need to use them to log in to their companies network, and I think some banks use similar things.
Yes that would be good, but obviously expensive to implement and the delay created might put off the sites, while my suggestions would improve matters more simply. The main point I was trying to make is that there are too many accounts being hacked and the sites are clearly being negligent in their practices.
Or the users in theirs!
I'm not sure how you would (reliably) lock down access to only one machine.
Even then I imagine that it would be possible to either spoof the user's machine, or maybe even use their own machine.
If the attackers somehow have access to the site's system then I imagine they could just change the setting from that end and gain access that way.
dont each computer have a unique MAC address?
Anyways, what I dont get is why sites dont allow users to "opt out" of playing for X hours, they have a version like this anyways, so they can extrapolate it so that if u are going to bed and know u wont play for 10/12 hours etc, then u can ban urself from playing so that no activity can occur on your account... it would cut out this shit immensely.
