So it takes over PINs? If it does, then awesome because it can be 6-16 characters long. Much more secure than the old 4 digit PINs. I like this, I like this. People can stop making Hacked Threads even though it's not allowed. If someone says they got hacked, then they're idiots. Unless someone can make an illegal program to hack someone's account after this update.

I completely agree. This method should stop hacking for a long while. That is, until people find another loophole. HERE WE GO AGAIN.

After you have a PIC you will no longer need to enter your old PIN at login [/quote]

Is the pic going to allow people to get back their old accounts?

if we could choose from 4-16 digit pins that would be wonderful over 100,000 combination's. Just a thought, the pic idea is also cool.

Since you login from the website they replaced PINs by PICs (more secure).

Pic would be also to lose it too unless u have it down writen on a piece of paper but then It'll take longer to sign in because of the site but u would prob get back the account that the hacker changed pin So that might be cool
