[Warning] Optifine risks your account.

[small]

Logging in with your Minecraft account on Optifine.net to change your cape risks your account. Optifine logs into your account to verify it is really you (which is fine), except for the fact that it logs in under a IP other than your own.

If you login to change your cape too many times in a short period of time on Optifine you will end up getting Mojang to send you a automated email to reset your password and will change your password for you.If you get a email sent to you multiple times to reset your password Mojang will lock your account.

What you can do:
- Best thing you can do is to never change your OF cape.
- Before changing your Optifine cape log off for 10 mins, change your cape, wait 10 mins, logon.
- Do not change your cape multiple times in a short period of time, and if the login to Optifine.net is not working do not spam it.

This is not Optifines fault, I don't think there is anyway Optifine can get around this, just be careful.

Edit: This is completely true and was even confirmed by the Optifine developers themselves.

Yep, got my main old account locked, which had over 2k in ranks.

Sorry to hear that man . Had the same thing happen to me, just not so bad.

With HV?

No, luckily not. Had it happen a while back, and got a message from Mojang to change my password today on HV. Not changing my cape on HV ever again just in case.

I never knew this until now. I am constantly changing my cape, thank you so much for sharing this with MCM.
I'll be sure to remember this from now on.

Can you prove how this is true?

I have had experience doing this and so has others, you can try this yourself, I am not getting another account locked. I wouldn't make this up. This is without a doubt true.

I had someone just transfer a cape onto my name over a few weeks ago. Obviously it didn't do any damage, nor did I get any email.

Thanks for the heads up

That's good. I don't know if you read my posts or not but I am talking about when you login with your Mojang details, logging into the Optifine.net website with your Mojang account multiple times in a short period of time to change your cape, causes Mojang to change your password, this can also end up getting your account locked.

So when it changes your password, reverts it back to the OG password? Or a randomly generated password that you have to change VIA your email attached to your account?
If that's the case, than why would it risk having your account locked.

This can end up getting your account locked if they have to change the password multiple times, because it will be thought as "compromised" since someone keeps logging in from another IP.
