Depends on what your notion of "security" is, I suppose. For most sites, simply reading the review here on FST should tell you it's a fake page, and sometimes how to get through it. Better than nothing, I guess :idunno:Quote:

Every little bit helps, at least it can't hurt. The important thing to remember is even though the most complicated fake login page won't fool everyone, it will fool some people and thats what matters. I remember with one tracker to even see the login page I had to type a few words into a search bar, if I didn't have my cookies set and I forgot those words I'd have to go back and check my email. That was okay since I was a member I had that email saved, if I wasn't a member just a curious onlooker it would be a little more challenging. Also a tracker review only gives away so much, not every secret can be found in a screenshot. Some of them stay pretty well between members.Quote:

If it Does Not eally help. anyone that has an account are shown how to properly Login during the confirmation stage of the registrarion, why even bother with all the added work of coding to create a Redirection, that I don't think it really HELPS, IMHO
P.s. That is why I like PrOn sites, every thing is "Nake" to the eye. No hiding of anything, No False Front.......LMAO
There was a huge long thread about this a few months ago.Maybe see if you can find it .Quote:

These fake pages are nothing but a joke in the name of security.
What's dumb is assuming that that is the reason behind fake pages.Quote:
