Hide user name when Alt.Binz starts
« on: November 29, 2009, 03:07:04 pm »
Every time Alt.Binz launches it shows a dialog box with the user name and hidden password.

For reasons of privacy I would prefer if the user name was also hidden.

I've noticed half of the contributors don't even know their own forum username, so this is their only clue. So no :)

On a related note, is it really necessary for Alt.Binz to verify the user's identity *every* time the program boots?

Why not just do it once so we don't have to wait around in the hope that Alt.Binz manages to connect to the authentication server successfully. :D

And then you get banned. But you can still login. And share your copy with others.

How to prevent that?

If you want that option and he implements the possibility, then I would say: hide the window and only show it when connecting to backup server of when connecting fails.
But still, what is the problem with this window? You all make screenshots when this one pops up? You always have someone looking over your shoulders?

Privacy...yes...but why exactly?
