FTP has security token - Page 8 - Internet Poker

Hi XXXXXXX,

As a token of our appreciation, we’d like to offer you one of our new Security Keys free of charge.
A Security Key is a piece of hardware that produces a six-digit code that changes automatically every 30 seconds. This code is used in addition to your Player ID and Password to access your Full Tilt Poker account.

To receive your Security Key, please reply to this email verifying that your physical address and phone number are still valid. You can check or update your personal information by logging in to your Full Tilt Poker account and clicking on Cashier.

Thanks for making Full Tilt Poker your online poker room.

Good luck at the tables,

Full Tilt Poker

Anybody else get this offer? Do they think I have a high risk of being hacked or something?

i got it and replied with a pretty simple "yes". im not really sure how that gives up too much information or allows me to be hacked easier when they already know my screenname and email somehow....

I would not reply to any of these emails at all. I am not to familiar with email hacking. But it is to my understanding from briefly reading about it on threads somewhere that they can hack your email by only receiving an email from you. I think there might be some code in the email that you send out that helps them hack your email address or something. I would email fulltilt support before responding to any of these emails. And if you have already responded. I would definitely notify fulltilt and change your email for your poker acct temporarily or permanently.

I got same thing and my email is something that is unhackable i.e. no one else knows it and I only use it for FTP. It is legit although so obv that I paid 100 medals the day before they sent this offer. Hopefully they rebate fml

There was another thread elsewhere in which regs were getting these emails, it's not a scam.

In other news, I bought mine with FTP's before I realized the Ironman store had them, fml.

Orderered this through iron man.

+1 for the security question nonsense, otherwise it's good. Also bring in the one-time password sheet.

excellent fail. you're not proving me wrong you're reinforcing what I said. how do you not see this? All I said is FTPs are worth what the best value you can get for them is.

also.. it's not an rsa token.

Considering that FTP doesn't seem to get anything right the first time around, including many of their software updates, etc., I'm concerned that the security token will have problems as well, at least at first (people being unable to log onto their accounts or some other problem I haven't thought of yet.)

I'm going to wait until I hear that it's actually working before ordering one.

Hadn't considered that, but with FT it's a distinct possibility.

Yes. Customer Service can change your account to no additional authentication so that you will only need your Player ID and Password to log in to your Full Tilt Poker account. To do this, email Authentication-Support@Fulltiltpoker.com with the following information:

* Your Player ID
* The reason that you wish to revert back to no additional authentication
* The answer to the secret question that you chose for your account
**************************************************

So yeah, there is no complicated background check or anything according to their website. Feel free to remove the 'lol' from your post, or direct it at yourself.

I know fulltilt is slacking in the customer service department. But they take account security very seriously. They aren't just going to disable a security token after answering 3 simple questions.

I'd love to hear comment from Doug on this.

Mark

quoted the meat of this mini-debate; now i'm going to pm the link to my post to FTPDoug.

surprised that we've yet to receive clarification about this.
