There should definitely be a Forgot Your password Link.
I have forgotten my password once on Armageddon and I tried so many different passwords but none of them were right. I ended up getting banned automatically because the system had the impression that I was a Hacker. I had to go through all of the trouble to ask a moderator about it and get their attention. The ban is going to be lifted, but I had to go through a lot of trouble to do that and mods do get annoyed. I don't want anyone else to go through all the trouble. So how about a Forgot your password link? If Tao can install a bot I'm sure a Forgot your password link wouldn't be too time consuming. It's just an idea.

I'm against a forgot your password feature. I actually hope FPS stores their passwords with one-way encryption so that recovering your password would be impossible. But, an automated password reset system would be good. Although, if the "send an email through the website and it will get reset eventually" is effective and timely, then it shouldn't be that inconvenient.

What harm can a Forgot Your Password? link do....? It's only helpful. I just think that there needs to be someway that users should be able to change, or access there password if they forget.

If you forgot your password you need to send a general ticket

Don't be stupid and forget it. Greys can't recover passwords, golds can using the help/support desk link and by entering in their supscription number.

The forget you password can make it easier for hackers to take peoples accounts as well. The way they have it is just fine.
