Scratch Account System(SAS)
I'm 100% sure that there's a dupe somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it. I don't think that this is rejected
Scratch's current account system isn't very strong, it's just a password, and an username. What if, that were changed?
So updating the account system could be kind of controversial, some people argue that Scratch Accounts don't really need to be more secure, because they're free. Others argue that they could hold some more personally data, such as your real name(if you don't already use it), and your email, or, they just don't want to keep making Scratch Accounts.
I'm part of the latter, Scratch accounts should be updated. There are tons of ways to make it so that it's harder to just type in a random stream of characters; the way that I'm thinking about requires a lot of time to do:
So the idea is that you'd make a few questions, with answers, and make an amount of tries before it gives those questions(always, on the # attempt, never), it could also be that when a new computer signs into your account, it gives you an email to confirm this computer.

This email could be sent when someone tries to log in, but gets at 1+ question wrong.
