Security System- When you log in you will be prompted to enter a security password. It is optional.
- If you have a special character (eg. not a number or a letter) in your gPotato password then you will not be able to enter a security password. You may change your gPotato password at http://register.gpotato.com/?m=profile&a=changeprofile
