Implementing Email System

[EnGin]

There have been times when one forgets his/her password which is really bad. The one way to recover your password is messaging Jonne to change it but let's just move on to a new and a better system. So what my suggestion says is that we should have email system so that we can do "Forget Password" in CP and get a link over our email. Then after clicking the link, it will get us to change password panel. This will help PTP in many ways.

Good,I've mentioned yesterday that we'd need some means to get our old password back or something like that.This is good,I suppose,although I don't know how we'd use our g-mails unless we connect them with our accounts.

Jonne could probably use Game Account Linking in forums?

It's very simple, to be honest. Let me tell how we can implement this.

So first we can ask for his/her email address over registration and then enters it (Data gets saved in SQL). Now at this point, you may ask what if he enters some invalid email. Not a problem! he will suffer later when he logs in to CP. Now for those who are already registered, we can do a thing for them as well, Jonne can make a popup which says to enter our email address. Now comes the confirmation part, this is quite easy to be honest. We can make some key using MD5 or something else and then we can email the user a link in which he will click and gets redirected to verify.php?key=nbkajdgkjdkg and then his email will be verified and then he can access the CP. And when all this is done, we can start creating new features like changing password or mailing new updates.

+1 a lot of other servers have this measure and it's pretty good.

In my experience, someone forgetting his password happens rarely here (I haven't had to do that many resets). If we do implement it in a way, it will probably be through the game account linking on the CP (as you already had to enter an email to register for the forum).
