    Neopets have announced they are implementing a new login for the site.

    No doubt this is be more secure, and if not at least different from the current one.

    Unless you want to get iced I suggest NOT to use any programs from this period onwards until they are updated.

    Use is at your own risk. You have been warned.

    Did they say when this was going to be in full effect, because it is the second and I haven't seen anything different?

    They said October 2nd...
    But as of now, nothing was changed.
    I simply hope they're not going to use captcha... If so, programmers will have a hell of a job beating that.

    Maybe it won't be obvious when they've changed it?

    usually, when they tweak the login script, they don't say a word about it so they can catch cheaters... So I'm pretty much expecting a complete overhaul of the page :D

    "We would also like to attend you to the fact that Neopets is redoing their Login page today. This means that most likely at some point of the day you will be logged out and you will need to re-login. This login page may ask for additional information such as your birth date, e-mail address or PIN number. So be sure to write those down for all your accounts, so you don't lose the access to them. We assume that the new login page is being created in order to do something about the cookie grabbing problem that is still going on on Neopets."

    that's from sunnyneo.com

    PIN will NOT BE USED to login
    that is 1000000000000%
    otherwise, cookie grabbing will INCREASE!

    as they'll have to be saved in a cookie
    and boom STOLEN!
