Not everyone has access to there old emails and the security questions are preposterous to remember exactly and it can’t easily be looked up either. Come up with a better way if you gonna do email based rewards

    What's a realistic change for them to make without making it easier for people to steal or purchase accounts?

    Ask people something about the account that only the account holder would know like how many shards you have of something or items in the account that only the account holder can see. There has to be a solution that doesn’t require you to know where you were when you created the account or what are your first 2 real money purchases and they need to tell you what info is wrong so you can figure where to start when looking up old info.

    But if you purchase an account you can see the shards or anything within that account at the present time.
    I have been using the same device bro what account purchase lmao. They can see its the same device

    So you want them to remove questions that only the original owner can answer and replace them with questions that anyone with access to the account can answer?
    That's a steep reduction in account security and game integrity protection.

    Where you were is not that specific.. its not asking you if you were in the kitchen or the bathroom. Its asking country or state.... And the purchases you can check in your apple and google history....

    I have an idea, they can ask them what email they used. 🤷

    Then they need to specifically tell you which security questions are wrong so you know where to look. I’ve given correct info to try and change email and there like something wrong life come on don’t hold us hostage over a year or 2 first in game purchases. Honestly it should be any in game purchase why does it gotta be first 2.
    Dude, you don't have any idea about security and how it works. You might notice that a fair amount of websites no longer tell you if your password is incorrect and instead will say either your username or password are incorrect. This is done to protect people and enhance security. If you say the password is wrong, then an attacker can just try a bunch of usernames until they get the message that the password is wrong and now they got a username to work with to try and Crack the password of. You increase security by making them have to Brute Force both username and password.

    Your idea is also flawed because if I'm an attacker trying to take control of your account so I can cheat and get it banned permanently, then I can answer the security questions and immediately know which ones I got right and which are wrong. Depending on supports policy, I might be able to correctly supply all the information and now I have control of your account. While you might be an insignificant target, imagine someone like BmCG or MSD having people trying to get their accounts. Odds are pretty good that 10 or so people would be all it would take to correctly guess everything and take control of their accounts since a fair amount of information is already online about it.

    Kabam support is just doing what they're supposed to do to keep your account secure. They are following good security practices and I approve of it.

    So you never left home ever and open the game...
    Well I guess its a good thing that Kabam security is NOT worked around YOU. Between my stores, the hotels I use, my home and my mobile I would have been banned long time ago
    And what does "my IP address or really close" even mean?" Its not like a street address 🤣

    I doubt support has the ability to see device or ip logs.

    So the answer is people that don’t know the security questions just are screwed and stuck with an old out of use email. Great service to the customers

    Their responsibility is protecting accounts, not making sure players remember things to help protect those accounts.

    You think your account would be secure if I asked you 3 questions.. you got 2 right and 1 wrong and i tell you.. No.. question 2 was the city you lived in... Answer was not New York.. try again... No Its not New Jersey, try again... No its not Miami, try again ... Lol

    Anyone naming New Jersey for a city probably shouldn't get their account back anyway.

    IIRC, someone recently said they accept the state as an answer to that question
