    I could imagine the steps for unblocking an account would go something like this.

    1) User enters invalid sub-password five times (who knows why, drunk, tired, or coming back from a long break).
    2) The user goes to the site and verifies that it is indeed their account and that they want to unblock by providing information (security question, security answer, registered email, etc).
    3) A confirmation email is sent to the registered email with a link to unblock the account or warning the user of an attempt to unblock the account.
    4) Account unblocked.

    With a system like that, in order for a stranger to unblock their account they would need to know the security question, security answer, registered email, and even the password the the email address. Good luck with that.
    Thats not so hard for most modern hackers sad to say

    Of course, but if they already have all that information who is stopping them from just changing the info to the account and removing the sub-password?

    Alright, so you're saying if you have someone's registered email address, the emails password, the security question and the security answer you won't be able to use the "find password" feature on the character selection screen to change the sub-password?

    1) Log in the account the password.
    2) Click "find password"
    3) It prompts you with the security question, only asking for an answer.
    4) Change the sub-password.

    If you get yourself a hard enough password, basically the only way a hacker can figure it out is with a keylogger. 123456abc isn't a good password and can be cracked using a brute force technique. A password with a bunch of random numbers and letters is very very hard to hack and not worth the time to cabal hackers.

    Hackers are not only limited to logging keystrokes you know.

    You just gotta be smart and not download that "naked pic" from that person you don't know and you'll never get a keylogger, and have a good virus scan lol.
