Idea to stop sharing

[death911]

I am not a computer expert and have no idea about any software programs. But i would like to suggest a way to stop sharing.. i don't know if it's practically possible or not. but still let me suggest..
All accounts are linked to email id right? 1st make all accounts which are not yet linked, linked to email id mandatory.
Secondly the app should be registered to an email id( the email id of accounts of players. BOTH SHOULD BE SAME. then only a player can login) and the app's registered email can't be changed. so if a player wants to log in another accounts he can't login bcoz the app's registered email id won't match with the email id of the account he wants login. So a player will be able to login only in his own accounts.
and no matter how many devices a player has he can login in all devices his alts because he can register the app to his email id and his alts also which linked to his email.

That sounds like a very good idea. Wonder if it is doable?

I think the coding is possible, but the idea has 1 flaw. What about players with more than 1 email account? I (for instance) have 5 different email accounts that I have registered accounts to. Also, what if they made the accounts on emails they no longer have? I know a few players who lost emails over the years, and (as it is) they have to be careful not to lose their passwords, because recovery will not work for them. This idea would essentially destroy all those accounts.

Basically the point is register the app to a single user. i mean like a profile where he can add all his email ids just like we do in any social media website. we create a profile and add our email ids. once added these are locked and can't be removed and they help in the identity of a person.

Let's say a player A has 5 email ids. he creates a profile and add all his 5 ids. so now it helps to identify a player.he can use all his alts registered in all his 5 email ids.

now if player B tries to use one of the accounts of player A registered to one of player A's email id, then he can't, because the device of player B(already registered to player B) recognises the email ids of player B and if he tries to add the email of player A to his own profile , it will fail saying "this email is already registered to another player." so he can't add it to his profile and can neither log in his account.

And about those who have lost their emails. firstly what do u mean by that?
option 1) they have forgot the login/password to their email id...
In this case login and password recovery possible after answering security questions..

option 2) they have forgot which email they have registered their account

In this case they can contact compbatant for help regarding details

True, I have had a few ISPs over the years, with email addresses at each of them, and I had an account at lavabit (we know what happened there) so those emails addresses are "BLINK" - "GONE!" I cannot request a "recover password" they simply do not exist anymore. Be a shame to loose a level 2k character because I move from City A to City B, 500 miles away and have to change ISPs and emails. Or the service itself stops working (lavabit).

u see moving to a new town won't change anything. bcoz u would be carrying the same device there. even if u get a new device then also no no problem as u can register the device to yourself. the point is one device be registered to one user.
