Safe password criteria
Please update FAQ #71. Another requirement should be added to the first list: "Does not contain numbers only". Change the wording if you like. Thanks! -
addition to FAQ 71 (keeping your password/account secure)
Now that it's possible to remove your original email address in addition to other old ones, I think FAQ 71 should include removing unsecured email addresses from your account as a security tip, particularly since this has already been 'endorsed' by LJ in the news post about account securityThis tip could either be an additional bullet point or ( Read more... ) -

change password
Both faq 71 and faq 18 as well as /changepassword.bml lack the information that you cannot change your password unless you have a "name" in your userinfo.
If there's no "name", you'll receive the - in this case not helpful - standard error message. -
