iricheon Getting website registration completely wrong

I was surprised over how much hate I received on my comment, even with this feature we get a ton non valid emails. I don't want to think of how many we would get without it.

iricheon Getting website registration completely wrong

Yes, just the e-mail field, to do it on password field is just annoyance.

iricheon Getting website registration completely wrong

Did I say I did it on password field or at login?

EDIT: Edited my main commented due to a comment regarding password fields blocking CTRL+V

iricheon Getting website registration completely wrong

We have disabled CTRL+C, CTRL+V on our site, just due to this, so users really need to validate there email.

EDIT: Just to clarify since someone took up a example with no paste on password. We just have this function on the email-field.

iricheon Ask HN: Buffer got hacked - does anyone know details?

Just got this email:

Hi there,

I wanted to get in touch to apologize for the awful experience we've caused many of you on your weekend. Buffer was hacked around 1 hour ago, and many of you may have experienced spam posts sent from you via Buffer. I can only understand how angry and disappointed you must be right now.

Not everyone who has signed up for Buffer has been affected, but you may want to check on your accounts. We're working hard to fix this problem right now and we're expecting to have everything back to normal shortly.

We're posting continual updates on the Buffer Facebook page and the Buffer Twitter page to keep you in the loop on everything.

The best steps for you to take right now and important information for you:

Remove any postings from your Facebook page or Twitter page that look like spam Keep an eye on Buffer's Twitter page and Facebook page Your Buffer passwords are not affected No billing or payment information was affected or exposed All Facebook posts sent via Buffer have been temporarily hidden and will reappear once we've resolved this situation I am incredibly sorry this has happened and affected you and your company. We're working around the clock right now to get this resolved and we'll continue to post updates on Facebook and Twitter.

If you have any questions at all, please respond to this email. Understandably, a lot of people have emailed us, so we might take a short while to get back to everyone, but we will respond to every single email.

- Joel and the Buffer team

iricheon Ask HN: Buffer got hacked - does anyone know details?

Yes, they do, still makes you think twice don't it?

iricheon Ask HN: Buffer got hacked - does anyone know details?

iricheon Important Customer Security Announcement

And what do you do when the payment provider you use sucks, and you want to move to a new one? Oh right! Every existing customer have to sign up again, and input the same info again.

That's the reason to aim for PCI compliance your self.
