TNT finally got the new login going.

now instead of a security code, if you try to log into someone else's account, you will be asked birthday..if you dont know birthday..guess and fail to get in...and continue to fail..youll be chain iced and Ip banned. this was put into effect to stop hackers.


so tip. know the birthdate of the account your going to hack.

    you can get into yoru sides..

    I would get into all your accounts and go to preferences..and copy and paste the birthdays into a text file.

    its not you that will have the problems..its others trying to get into your account that will have the problem.

    the system is already I'mplemented...



    and if your IP always changes..then you should have your birthday in a file so you can always access it if you need to

    I'm getting annoyed...

    you can log into YOUR own accounts..others cannot log into your accounts.

    if its your account, unless your ip address changes, the system will not ask you birthday

    it depends on whether or not your account is flagged for sharing accounts or hacking.

    The details are this.

    1. If it's your account and TNT has no idea you cheat, they will not ask birthday.
    2. if there is a suspicious you will be asked.
    3. if its a different IP than the IP usually found on the account you will be asked.
    4. If you are asked and do not answer correctly, you could be frozen. if you choose to not answer it..the account will be flagged.
    5. this was set to stop hackers as the security code didnt work correctly for everyone.

    they will probably change this in a few hours as its not working and it will probably be I'mplemented for everyone.

    so copy down your birthdays now..and be happy I warned you about it.

    To back up my statement this is still in the source of the login page:
