I'm trying to make a fail safe change password cmd. What factors do need checking?

I'm thinking of having a variable and if the factor is valid +1, run through all the validations, if the total is above 4/6 valid factors = change pass, anything lower, not allowed to change password.

What factors could they be? I'm thinking: Country of registry, IP Range, Registered IP. What else?

Thanks

I would prefer to stay away from security tokens/emailing resets.

Why?

I just want a command ingame to do it, but backend validation checks need to be done first.

Why would that be a hassle? Unless you lose your password 8 times a day.

Please, I asked for assistance on what factors I could use, not to question why I have chose this way.

I personally prefer just a simple command ingame, no messing around with email stuff. Anyway, back onto the factors, please.
