Idea for Future Video
David Van Swol 
    
2 days ago
I have an idea for a future video. I created code that locks the user account after 5 unsuccessful attempts.  But what if the user could click a link or button if they forgot their password.  The program would need to do the following:

1) Verify the user. User would need to enter their username.  If the username is valid will lookup their email and send a code for them to enter using the random function.
2) A box would appear requiring the user to enter the code. They would have 3 attempts to enter the code the user account would be locked.  They could ask for a new code be sent before they fail to enter the code for the 3rd time.
3) A successful code would allow the user to change their password using the Change Password Form you create in a previous video.

Do you think that would make a good video?

What you're asking for is in the following:

Access Security Seminar

Access Email Seminar

I did something similar in my own database. I haven’t set up email authentication yet, but I set it up to lock the user out after three failed login attempts. I’m working on automatically sending an email, which would send a random six-digit numeric code (similar to 2 factor authentication from sites like Google, etc), which I would trigger within 10 minutes of the account being locked.

Like Raymond said, you could easily get something like this working using a combination of the Security Seminar, Email Seminar, and the Registration Seminar is also good if you want to generate six-digit codes to send to your user so they can get back in to their database.

That's definitely a great idea, and Raymond is spot on. I do already cover how to build something like this using a combination of the Security Seminar and the Email Seminar, so everything you're describing is already in there.

It's one of those topics that ends up being pretty involved, so it's a bit beyond what I'd normally squeeze into a TechHelp video without turning it into a full mini-series. I try to use TechHelp to cover gaps or smaller topics that I haven't already gone deep on elsewhere.

So while I love the idea, this one falls into the "spaghetti sauce" category... it's in there.
