Google Adsense Bug: Change Password

Adsense publishers must always change Google Adsense account passwords from the Google Adsense interface. Never change your Google Adsense password from the Google Accounts page else you will not be able to login into Google Adsense without the help of a Google Adsense support member.

There is actually a bug in "Change password" procedure in Adsense. If you are also curious to reproduce the bug, just follow the steps below:

1. Open Google Accounts page and change password

2. Now login into Google Adsense with the new password. You will get the following error:

An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as the email associated with the account has not yet been verified. Please verify your email address using the email that was sent to you earlier. If you cannot find this email, you can use the form below to re-send the verification email.

3. Request Google to resend your verification email.

4. You will receive an email from Google within a nano second containing a verification URL. If you read the entire email text, you will find that Google is seeing this as a request for a new Adsense account.
Once you confirm your email, we'll review your application and email you after we check your site for AdSense eligibility. If you're accepted, you'll then be able to log in to your account with the email address and password you submitted with your application.
5. The nightmare doesn't end here. If you click the verification URL, you get another error - Email Verification Failed
Sorry, we failed to verify your email address. Please check that the URL in your web browser exactly matches the URL in your confirmation email. If you continue to experience difficulties, please email us at adsense-support@google.com. * key: Required field must not be blank
5. The only solution to this problem is: either contact Google Adsense support or Reset your Adsense password to the previous password. Then change to the new password from the Adsense interface and not via Google Accounts. (Select My Accounts subtab and click edit Login Information)

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
