That explains why Spikeman was banned, I was wondering at first until I saw this. At least you were able to fix a hole. Did he do any damage?

baka! I have having to change my pass...especially to places like this, where I don't need a complicated one (or a hard to remember one). Really, what's the damn point about someone stealing a pass from a message board. How petty can you be...a message board of all places.

I'd be one of the accounts he'd ignore though. Maybe.

Not so petty now, huh?

Last view: 2800 days 		Your only rela problem with other areas is if your password is insecure (e.g. "mypass").

Longer passwors (e.g., "th1sis!password" -- yes) are far more secure and probably won't need changing if all they got was a MD5 hash.

That would be a silly person. The best route with any pass is a mix of numbers and letters, and if possible, symbols.

Last view: 6140 days 		Or a person that doesn't want to memorize a kajillion passwords.

I do write mine down, which is fine because I live alone and nobody would see them. They're always at least random letters if not random letters/numbers/symbols, and important passwords are always unique (E-mail, bank, etc.)

My parents used to use an English word as their password, and then they wondered why they got hax0red. This was in like 1997 though. Once I saw a list of the passwords on the high school student accounts, and almost all of them were just like their first name, a single word, their username, or any of the above with an obvious number sequence (such as 123) appended.

Last view: 6078 days 		Yeah, I've seen the passwords people used in online games at school, and even the computers at work, and they tended to be terrible. Administrators using "123456" as a password.

I rarely use the same password twice, only for unimportant things. I keep a list of which password goes with which account in an encrypted file.

I'd change it anyway. I recall on the old board a hash was enough to get in some places, and they could crack it given enough time/CPU power.

Last view: 2800 days 		Yeah, but it takes a long time to crack a GOOD password. (And I mean, many days/weeks long)

And again, Acmlm doesn't realize the importance of making good SQL queries... just because you can leave out the '' and ``s doesn't mean it's a good idea, ever

Luckily, my password isn't a real word, or really anything resembling a real word. I changed it anyway, though.
