Being the precarious and overly-paranoid fool I am, I take it upon myself to change my password every-so-often just to make sure that nobody can ever hack my account or get into any personal sites (such as email). I decided that I was going to change all of my passwords tonight, and so I go though all of my favourites, YouTube, Hotmail.com, Tumblr, Blogger... Oh! I'm so silly, I almost forgot about Stardoll!!
I log in and go to my account page, and click on the "Change Password" button. After I do so, the little boxes pop up and I fill in the required information and my updated password. I click save, and to my surprise, a pop-up box appears.
Click to enlarge, of course.
Being late at night, I decide to read through it out of pure boredom and the first few paragraphs are just basic information and advice about picking smart passwords and not using consecutive numbers or letters, not using names or slag or words (then what do I use?), but to my shock, as I read the last paragraph, it would seem that Stardoll have done something intelligent.
After you change your password, your account goes into "Quarantine" or a mini lock down. Recycle, Bazaar and the Gift Shop are all disabled features from your account for 48 hours.
"48 hours?! But I have a huge sale at the moment!! Grr!"
I log into MSN a few minutes later to change the password on it, and then it says that I have one unread email.
"Hang on... I checked them, like, 2 minutes ago, and it's quarter to twelve at night... Who would email me now?"
I have a new message from... Stardoll!
"Phew."
Turns out that your account is under Quarantine for 48 hours or until you click the validation link in the email they kindly send you.
So, wanting to get my Stardoll-ing back under way I click the validation link without haste, and it redirects me to Stardoll.
BOOM!
"Ugh."
Thoughts?
