One thing I have noticed in Eve has been the recent large increase in account hacking on Eve. Security is a big concern with players and there are a number of ideas floating about on how to make accounts more secure.
This idea is not meant to really protect an account, but rather hanger assets and possibly Isk.
Now, a few years ago, back in my Runescape playing days. Jagex introduced a new feature into their MMORPG (In response to increasing security breaches). Their system was an optional ingame PIN code keypad.
Basically, in order to access your bank (Which in Runescape, meant all of your items and money world wide). A player would have to insert an X-number passcode to be allowed access to their bank. When accessing a bank, a keypad would display on the game and the players would click the appropriate code. (Too many failures I believe locked you out for a bit).
Due to this, the number accounts with their items stolen before the account could be properly repossessed decreased dramatically in Runescape.
Obviously there are a few fundamental differences between Runescape and Eve considering Banks/Hangers (In Eve items can only be accessed at the hanger you left them in. And unlike Runescape, Isk is a digital credit rather then an item).
However, implementing this sort of option could stop account hackers from being able to get to your hanger. (Since they would need the PIN). The program is also insusceptible to keyloggers. And possibly could be implemented to player donations/other wallet features.
-Can't be typed (Done with mouse only) -PIN doesn't appear in any account information if account is stolen -Optional
Thoughts? Support?

I thought Eve would support more security features due to the rise of account hacks.
-Shameless bumping/support for my own idea.

Originally by: Klyria Not supported, I like the idea but the functionality already exists.
Apparently it doesn't. Since, as you said, require station containers. Which are not transportable in any average ship. Which means you need to buy the container at the location you want to store your stuff to be protected. Which is hardly possible.
Station containers do not provide the function suggestion.
And even then, two different people pointed out two different ways to bypass the security lock. So it actually provides ZERO functionality.
So present a VALID reason to not support.
Quote: For people worried about key loggers get a virtual keyboard. My kaspersky comes with one. A keyboard that goes over other programs and you must click to use and easy to close out.
The Security PIN would not accept keyboard functions, only input from the 9 keys. This entirely avoids keyloggers altogether.

No it does not... Keyloggers are a program that records ALL keystrokes... stop making stupid assumptions and stick to facts.
On-screen keyboard would be best... as far as keyloggers go.
And please don't assume everyone has a 9 key... that's childish at best.
Drake. Please stop going around making yourself look stupid. Keyloggers can't decipher mouse clicks, which aren't keystrokes. If you even looked at the OP, which you didn't. You would see what the REAL suggestion is.

Then say "on-screen" buttons moron... keys are keys on a keyboard.
Thank you for your personal definition. Dually noted I will change my language when I expect to see you around.
Quote: And also you should be aware that screens can be recorded.
I'm sure whatever account thief out there would love to sit at their computer looking through thousands of pictures trying to find your PIN combination.
At this point your argument is rooted in paranoia, are your security systems really THAT bad?
I've still yet to see one reason anyone has put up why this isn't a legitimate good idea.

I never thought it would apply to corp hangers personally.
