Hi People, i'm new here! Thanks for all the info you post .!
Would like to see if this happened to someone here.
I made a buy, 0.17 were left in my account after that. 7 days after, my password stopped working. I sent an email to support from another account and they resetted my password.
The surprise was that when I entered my account again, I got my .17 withdrawed and my PIN changed too.
I know what you're thinking, and that why I'm so disorientated. I always checked the URL. I didn't entered on a phishing website. The PIN was only used the day i made the buy!!! And is only in a paper in my house. Only used a computer of my own.
What do you think that could happen? Are we secure leaving our BTC?
Thank you and enjoy weekend!

Did you ever use the same information anywhere else, or register the same account over at Atlantis? Or ever find yourself on a login page that asked for your PIN?

Check out using a password generator so that you never use the same password twice. I'm using KeePass and find it very easy to use.

Hey Superior welcome and may I ask you, "How do they work?"

Keepass lets you create a file that will contain all your passwords. This file will be protected by a "master" password, actually the only one you'll have to remember.
Therefore you can now have different passwords on every site you visit, without having to remember them all. If one account gets hacked, the others are still safe.

Exactly what I was talking about, you can make 200+ bit passwords and never have to worry about remembering any but 1. Make sure when you set it up on your computer that you require a key file (a file you designate from your computer that acts as an accessory to your master password) and make sure to hit the save key after every change you make, it does not auto save!
