The Best HYIP GUIDE: e-gold's Account Sentinel™
e-gold's Account Sentinel™(also referred to as AccSent™) enhances the security of your e-gold account by enabling you to direct the circumstances under which your e-gold account may be accessed.
AccSent empowers you to restrict browser access to your account to a single IP address (or range of IP addresses) and/or to a single web browser based on settings you can configure to best meet your needs - simply log in to your account, click Account Info, and scroll down to AccSent's browser access settings.
AccSent's browser access enhancements were deployed to provide you an additional level of protection in the event your passphrase is compromised due to poor security practices on your part (we hope this does not describe you!). However, these enhancements should not be regarded as diminishing the importance of good security practices. We urge you to read and practice e-gold's security recommendations.
Detect IP Address Change Sensitivity
Your IP number is your numeric address on the Internet, similar to a telephone number or a street address. If you access the Internet via a dial-up connection your ISP may assign you a different IP number every time you connect. If you access the Internet via cable, DSL, or a network connection, typically your IP number remains the same for a much longer period of time.
AccSent's browser access settings specify how sensitive the e-gold system should be when detecting changes in your IP number. If a change is detected based on AccSent's browser access settings, then a one-time PIN is sent to your e-mail address of record, which must be provided before account access will be permitted from the new IP address (or range of IP addresses). The more sensitive the detection setting, the more secure your account is against unauthorized access.

Detect Browser Change
Every time you view any page on the Internet, your web browser includes a set of information in the request for that page. These "browser headers" include the version of the browser you are using. To some extent, these headers distinguish your computer from different computers. AccSent's browser access settings specify whether the e-gold system should detect changes in these headers - which would indicate access from a different computer. If a change is detected based on AccSent's browser access settings, then a one-time PIN is sent to your e-mail address of record. This PIN must be provided before further account access will be permitted from the new computer/browser. Enabling this setting makes your account more secure against unauthorized access.

One-time PIN e-mail
AccSent sends one-time PINs as applicable via e-mail (see above); therefore, you should not be alarmed if you receive one-time PIN e-mail that corresponds to your own account activity. However, for your security, NEVER click hypertext links in e-mail to get to the e-gold website - not even e-mails that appear to be e-gold one-time PIN e-mails.
