.... We believe that it is important to listen to our users and will change this to mask the password at change as well. Shimself, as noted earlier, your concern is over the security of your password which you then seemed to post live onto the open forum, if you have not done so already please can you change again. Proplend Team. Good decision thanks The password shown in the screenshot was VISIBLE123! was just for the sake of making the point and was never implemented thanks Shucks! There was me trying to guess your user name...

Thank you for your feedback on this issue, we love to hear from our users and take your feedback seriously. Please note that we have now changed the password re-set screen to hide the new password as you type, with an option to show it should you wish. The Proplend Team. Attachments:

Will you please institute an automatic inactivity timeoutl'. You put such a burden on users.
It's like this. For some mad reason I've decided to invest further in one of your loans (E*SEX). So I have to transfer money in, and onlv that will take some time to be shown on the website, and only then can I invest. So I just left the tab open as a reminder, which on (I think) EVERY OTHER PLATFORM zopa rs tc ac li lw rebs wellesley banks, building societies.... will log me out after some time eg 20 mins. But no, your site still has me logged in the next day! Someone could actually (I think) sell my investments, change bank accounts and steal my money without using any passwords, they could certainly explore all my account details. You might say it would be my fault for not having logged out, but when every other site behaves differently then I think I have a reasonable expectation that your site will follow convention.
I get the impression you're taking offense at these criticisms. No, just do it and move on. Please.

shimself. Your probably correct but for the record I hate sites that timeout too quick. For me the longer the timeout the better. i.e. greater then one hour at least.

Thank you again for all your comments. A security time-out will go live on the Proplend platform tomorrow. As a point of fact, regulations dictate that monies can only be returned to the bank account from which they came, a bank account can only be changed after a request from the account holder and proof of the new account being supplied. It is therefore impossible for someone to request funds to a third party bank account even if they did have access to your Proplend account. Proplend Team.

Hi
I have just joined Proplend and having read this thread was concerned that PL initially appeared reticent to take on board the valid investor concerns about platform security i.e. a) a moment when a password was visible (no matter how short a period) and b) no auto time out.
Thankfully, Proplend (after considerable persuasion by posters) has addressed these concerns. A thank you to those posters who persisted in pointing out to PL their platform weaknesses and to Proplend for finally understanding and acting.
