Shaker Lists are optional but very powerful. If in place , you will be required to enter your Username and Password at the log in page. It will then be time to use the Shaker List to gain full access. A Shaker List is composed of a few links that you assign. After clicking the checkboxes beside the Shaker List links, click "Submit" at the bottom of the page. The Shaker List is sensitive. If you guess wrong on your first attempt , we let it slide. If you guess wrong twice , your account is locked down. You will need your Super Shaker phrase (if you did not leave it blank) and correct Shaker List to unlock your account. Remember, to even guess at your Shaker List an attacker would need your Username and Password first. If you feel you are a target of identity theft, we highly suggest setting up a Shaker List. They are not that hard to remember (you have a cheat sheet in front of you - your existing list of links!) and they can always be reset by you (requires full access to reset).
If attacked , please try to unlock your account from a trusted computer. To recover, we suggest using a computer that you have not visited (in case one of the computers you were on was bugged with spyware that picked off your Username and Password. This same bugged computer could pick off your Username and Password again if you reset them after unlocking).
If you know you accidentally locked yourself out of your own account, simply fill in your Super Shaker and submit the correct Shaker List.
Your Shaker List can contain 1 link or it can contain many links. The more links you have, the more secure your account is. The odds of guessing correctly are easily calculated by (2 ^ n) / 2. If your Username and Password were to leak by some means (but not your Shaker List) , the odds of your ID getting stolen with 10 links in your folder is 1 in 512 ... for a 25 link list , odds are 1 in 16,777,216. The Super Shaker takes these odds close to infinity!
Negative and Positive Trigger Tips:
The "All" button directly underneath your list of links is a Shaker List's best friend. Check "All" to quickly select or de-select all links. Mix it up. If you have a problem remembering your Shaker List, add links to websites you NEVER visit. Set up a Shaker List with Negative Trigger of these links. When you log in and see your list , check "All", then uncheck all the websites you never visit. This is easy to remember (and very secure) !!!
