Including temp items actually. That is why you cannot see temp items while viewing your safe/satchel/etc.
Now your just being obtuse. Don't give your pr0n-addicted brother your account details. Don't use hacks. Don't buy gil. Don't install warez. Don't do anything that will expose you.
Unless the details are actually stolen from the provider, the only people who get details stolen... are people who allow their details to be stolen.
Incorrect. You've apparently never heard of the account hijack method called "brute force".
Someone picks the random string of four letters and four numbers that is your POL account name, and then uses their network of gilfarmer computers to try every possible password for it. They eventually get in and strip its contents, then use it for spamming.
Happened to my wow account. After I hadn't played the game in over a year, I got a (legit) email from Blizz that my billing had been canceled.
I went straight to worldofwarcraft.com myself (not following any links to get there), reset my password, and logged in. Someone had added a month, removed it, and (after I re-downloaded and patched my game I discovered) stripped my account. I always use different forum logins than I do game logins, every game login is different, haven't had a virus since 1995, use ff+noscript exclusively, etc.
On top of that my account got locked because whoever added that month later did a chargeback on their CC. Not that I care, just saying it does happen. Security token prevents this.
Yeah I explained this back on page 2, but it seems he didn't read it. SE locked my account awhile ago because someone tried to brute force hack it and I had to talk to them over the phone/tech support instant message (I used the instant message option) to reset my password. Afterwards, I had to login with the PW they gave me and reset it myself. I felt this was highly unnecessary as I have a token but someone still tried to hack into my account.
It's a possibility that they would have gotten into my account if I didn't have a token, but it's hard to say. Tokens are a great way to increase the security on your account, especially if you have an account that would be considered valuable.
You've apparently never heard that even "strong" passwords can be broken. However, when you have a combination of a strong password and a token you have much more security than a strong password. I'm not sure how there can be any discussion on this matter; you're arguing against the use of a device that more than doubles your security for the price of $10.
You can be as informed as you want, you're just pulling out smartly instead of wearing a damn tokencondom. Shit happens, no matter how strong your password is or how safely you browse. If you want to leave that to chance, it's your account. If you don't, it's $10 to add an extremely powerful second layer of security. I don't care what you do. But to say that tokens are useless if you're smart is just ignorant.
