This is a feature I would like to see raised at the next CSM meeting.
Problem: Account hacking/stealing is a very serious problem to a lot of Eve players. CCP however can only do so much to prevent accounts from being stolen.
Purpose: To increase security of accounts that have already been hacked.
Currently, if an account is hacked and its assets firesaled. It is impossible for CCP to reimburse players for these losses.
Proposal: A personal Assets security PIN to make hanger assets inaccessible to account thiefs.
Assets Security PIN: -10 digit code (0-9) prompted by client when trying to access hanger. -Code is imputed by mouseclicks, not keyboard strokes -Optional to: Unenabled, enabled once per log in -(I am not sure what the best method of PIN recovery would be) -Does not affect corp hangers
Picture Example
A few years ago, Jagex Ltd. introduced the very same idea to their MMORPG Runescape in response to increasing account security problems. The implementation drastically reduced the damage inflicted to already hacked accounts and allowed Jagex time to restore said accounts to their rightful owners. This is a PROVEN mechanic.
An Asset PIN would be invulnerable to keyloggers. Theoretically a virus could take constant screen captchas to catch a player inserting the PIN, however this would also require knowing the specific computer's account name and password. Plus computer performance would be affected enough to where a user would notice.
Assembly Hall Thread
Although the Assembly Hall thread did not receive much support, the support was overwhelmingly unanimous.

this is a huge pain in the ass and i've seen this in other games, the viruses will simply adapt to take screenshots. this won't increase security.

Good thing it's optional

What games? I named one where it DID work.

I'm sure some account thief would LOVE to sift through thousands of pictures of crap to find the few seconds someone is typing said pin in.

According to you.
