If you use a password recovery system that requires email, can you have someone elses password sent to YOUR address? As in reroute the info to your address? I'm pretty sure someone did this to me, I know who it was, and I want to get back at the :censored: whodunit.

Password recovery : You usually have to answer a couple of security questions, (which you only should know) before they email a password to some one.

Yes and no. what you would need to do is change the recipient email on the account first. But, what couldve been done, is some sites have a security question option instead of an email. Most questions are not complex enough to stop people from getting in. eg. Mom's Surname, or Pet, etc. stuff like this can be found online by cross referencing sites like MySpace (another good reason to avoid posting private info). So answering a simple question could gain access to your account.
