[SUGGESTION] Account safety

dawnlessday·May 27, 2017·0 votes·222 views

I would like to suggest Riot to connect League of Legends accounts with the user's mobile phone to increase account security. Hey everyone!

As someone who had her account stolen once, I feel like it would greatly improve my account security if the method to change my password would include a verification code sent through a message to my phone. At least this would warn me that someone might be trying to make changes to my account, giving me the possibility to take immediate action.

Many gaming companies are already using this method and I think it would be a valuable addition to Riot services.

Thank you for your time :)

PS: this post was originally in "Support & Feedback" but it was deleted by a the staff who recommended this discussion to be in "Miscellaneous". I still strongly feel this is a feedback discussion. Honestly, it felt like my suggestion/feedback was completely disregarded.

theres no way people that use cracked accounts can change the password if the email is verified

If they managed to hack into one's riot account, it's very possible they can access your personal information and therefore access your email account and change anything they want. My point is if we had our personal phone connected to our accounts it would be much harder for someone to steal it.

99% of cracked accounts are cracked with account checkers which just combine random usernames and passwords until they find a combination
