Title: Different levels of security for login in and requesting pay.
Post by: Imabase on March 30, 2009, 08:40

Hi Guys,

 I was just reading some of the info on Lookstat, and it occured to me that it would be really good if microstock sites could introduce, another layer of security for requesting pay. That way it will be easier to sign up to sites such as Lookstat without worrying about anybody stealing your earnings. This extra level of security could only be reset via the email by which the photographer signed up with. Infact if microsites provided an extra feature that allowed photographers to login just to view their stats, and a seperate one for uploading and requesting pay it would be very useful.

What do you think?

For the record, we would love to see this happen - it would make our job much easier. I think that it will happen over time but it will probably take longer than we'd like. The technical solutions are out there its just a matter of when implementation will take place.

A simple four digit pin number would be nice.

A pin number would be good or a security key, like the paypal one.  Hopefully one of the sites will do this and the others will follow.

Yeah, hopefully they will because it would be great idea, I have posted this in the forum of the sites concerned I hope to get the sites to notice.

Thanks

Does anyone know if Yuri Arcurs uses Lookstat, and if not does he plan to? Cos Andresr is big earner and he uses Lookstat, didnt he have any concerns?

Also I think Lookstat should do more to promote their certified level of security, and prove that they have systems in place to hold themselves accountable in the event that photographer's login details is stolen/copied etc.

Who cares?  Aren't all users concerns valid as another?
