Counter System Passwords ?

A new addition to your counter is the capability to add a password; this is of course IF you want to? You can only do this when you first create the counter if you ever want this feature in the future and you have not entered a password then I am afraid you will need to create a new counter, if you do not want a password then just simply leave the sign up fields blank, statistics will then remain publicly available if also you select them.

Once you enter the password do not forget it!
Make your password difficult to guess!

What if I do not want a password?
1. If you have selected the use of statistics they will be publicly available to everyone that guesses your counter name!
2. You will not be able to gain access to any higher functions we build into the counter in the future i.e. it is planned to add the capability to reset your counter back to zero (if you want) we would not allow this capability in counters that are not password protected.
3. You will not see any further menu functions on your account if you do not have a password.

What if I do decide to use a password?
When this page was written (23/09/2005) we had just installed this capability of adding passwords! It is intended for this counter to advance and allow a lot of higher functionality! If you add a password to your account you can expect "AT MINIMUM" the following:
1. The capability to change your counter number at any time including reset!
2. The capability to change your password!
3. The capability to reset your statistics (if installed), i.e. start from scratch again!
4. The capability to have or not have statistics!

What if I have an existing counter?
If you already have an existing counter I am afraid it cannot be updated! You will need to create a new counter, i.e. if your counter name was "counter" you could change it to "counter2" you don't have to do this straight away but it is worth keeping in mind and it is worth doing if you want to take advantage of all the new higher functions when they come along, we have had lot's of users wanting to be able to simply change their counter total and this can not be done due to security implications on accounts without passwords.

The above are just a few examples of what will be available and is intended on accounts or counters that DO have a password, this is just an overview and there are a lot more higher functions planned.

If you do not password protect your account then this and many more intended functions will not be available to you now or in the future and you will need to create a new counter in order to get these extra's.

Note: you should consider using a password even if you do not want statistics or any other function, if you are in any doubt or if you may want statistics in the future or there is any remote possibility you may want to reset your counter back to zero even as a safeguard then please use a password if you do not enter a password the counter is considered throw away and you will not be able to change anything, and please do not contact us regarding this as there is nothing we can do! just create a new counter using passwords.
