We’ve recently been made aware of rumors circulating about an exploit used to restore banned accounts. While details are still unclear, one red flag is certain:
If a seller requires your password to “help” restore your account, it likely means they are using this exploit.
This method poses severe security, privacy, and liability risks to buyers. Allowing password-sharing transactions jeopardizes not only your account, but also the integrity of SWAPD as a platform.
Effective Immediately
All unban services requiring a buyer’s login credentials are strictly forbidden on SWAPD.
Any tickets involving these services — including ongoing ones — will be closed without exception.
All listings advertising such unbans will be removed from the marketplace.
Why This Matters
We cannot in good faith allow members to risk losing access to accounts or exposing sensitive login details. As a rule, no legitimate service provider should ever ask for your password.
If you encounter any user still offering this type of unban service, please report the listing or ticket immediately so staff can take action.

People destroy the market with these methods
Even if there’s a method it should be limited, now people are posting them in group chats making them instantly patched
My point is, half your site is account sales, which are “password-sharing transactions.” Why aren’t these transactions compromising the “integrity of SWAPD as a platform” too?
Might as well forbid handle swaps too.
Actually, just get rid of your insurance requirement cause it’s not needed.
In reality, all that yapping doesn’t mean anything and is all just to say you’re scared of your daddy Mark Cuckerberg.
If a seller requires your password to “help” restore your account, it likely means they are using this exploit.
