Use website login to access forum

Post by Boblakk2 »

Accessing the forum with other login data and registration process makes the start to post any ideas annoying (sorry ^^)
Giving feedback should be the most easy thing in every software project.

I actually like having different accounts for forum and website. In case forum was hacked and my connection informations were to leak, I'd still have my account secured on Factorio website.

AFAIK exactly this is planned (when I was in Prague).

And for Koub: There are not so much security risks with the choosen method: The forum (and other sites) would just look up, if the user is already registered, take the data, create account and after this the password can be changed as already known. Would also prevent 99% of spammers, cause the afford is then too high (you need to make an extra bot only for this).
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
