Or you can do what I've been contemplating and edit your packet and intentionally get yourself temp banned, though that won't protect you on the website like this does.
Hmm, does a password reset count with that too? As in, could you change your password+request a reset, or does that count as 2 resets?
I'll try it on my clean account I made for testing this.

Well, I'm not too sure about doing the Alt+(insert numberpad code here) method, but I was using Japanese to create a password. You can't use Japanese in GMS, and you can't copy+paste into the client either. I've tried ctrl+v and shift+insert. Neither of those methods worked. If someone can find a way to use special characters in the MS login screen, please post here. Just having special characters in your password is good enough on its own. Mixing characters to create a password of different shapes and languages mixed together would make an incredibly strong password that would most certainly give you a hard time to crack even with the MD5 hashes.
Edit - I was able to request a password change AND change my password in the same day with my test account. I would imagine most people only log in once a day, take care of their business, and then log off.
Is it possible to stay logged on in game even if your password is changed? In that case, you don't even have to wait until you're done playing to change your password back to the unusable one. Just alt+tab after you log in and swap your password. Unless you're prone to DCing. If you are, then you don't really have to worry about your account being left unlogged in for a minute or two. Unless you were DC'd specifically by someone who knows your info and is trying to take your account, or they stalked you waiting for you to log off.
If you're that paranoid, just lock your account with this until the whole situation has died down. If you're willing to get a temp ban, might as well do this instead.
