It's "constantly mis-type your password because you had to change it" day.
-
@windigo How difficult can it be to type 654321?
-
@dickturpin lol, I'll have to try that next - but currently all of my passwords are Lovecraftian, so they get dicey. :)
-
@dickturpin my problem is I'll try to do it all fancy with all the fingers of one hand, and reach to far over and hit ` or something.
-
@windigo I use pwgen -10 for mine or you can use this http://pwgen.net/
-
@dickturpin Ooo, handy - thanks for the link!
-
@dickturpin thanks, I'll use that the next time I have to update my passwords, though I'll have to use -y (crap site policies)
-
@idolrevolver Don't be stupid. They would have to log your IP then know what sites you own or what machines you've used them for.
-
@dickturpin also just looking at the default output makes me want to print it out, cross out the first three, and tape it to my monitor.
-
@windigo Or you could use this type of password: http://xkcd.com/936/
-
@dickturpin Oi! You got Mail!
-
@kevingranade I usually tape mine to the inside of my drawer coz nobody thinks to look there. :-)
-
@b1ackcr0w Yeah thanks for that I am now using that as my notification "Oi! you got mail"
-
@b1ackcr0w You are one clever bunny aren't you?
-
@dickturpin not to use it mind you, just to make it look like I do :)
-
@idolrevolver Just install pwgen and use it your own box then. You and Simon Phipps would get on well.
-
@idolrevolver They'd still need an account to hammer, surely? Unless you use your IP address as a user name...
-
@ratfink I thought about that, actually (brilliant idea!), but some web stuff I use have maximum password lengths (WTF, really?). :D
-
@dickturpin also there's this: https://www.grc.com/offthegrid.htm which I'm thinking of adopting for my general web-password needs.
-
@dickturpin @biglesp I'm afraid I don't have any pounds left - however, I do have 17,000 shirt buttons in a shed... ;)
-
@idolrevolver He's more paranoid than you. In fact he'd advise you never leave the house, turn on the lights or use the toilet.
-
@windigo Ahaha +1
-
@idolrevolver so you should be fine with someone knowing your password then, it should be secure enough to resist being publicly known...
-
@windigo I hate those. 'Please enter a password between 16 and 17 characters, with no duplicates, upper/lower letters, numbers and symbols'
-
@x1101 You have no idea how right you are. If a fake currency like Bitcoins can get started why not ButtonCoins?
-
@windigo Yeah, I really don't understand why anyone would limit password length. And if one does limit it, it should be very unimposing.
-
@dickturpin what, you think bitcoins are fake just because they are too complex for ya?
-
@idolrevolver Maybe, but this all seems highly hypothetical to me - odds are someone would just use social engineering or an simpler method.
-
@idolrevolver You redeemed yourself, you made me laugh. +1
-
@idolrevolver Besides, you'd also need a service to brute force, at the IP address that you logged, that allowed unlimited attempts.
-
@x1101 Yes, no :-P
-
@windigo every party we have with a specific friend, he and I always have a huge pile of them before the night is thru and have a good laugh
-
@ratfink It makes me worry; maybe that they need to limit it's length so that they can store it in plaintext in the database. :P
-
@nybill Did you know that they specifically prevent you from killing your father with the BB gun in Fallout 3? Bunch of babies. :P
-
@windigo Ha, no I never knew. Can't say that I tried though. I suppose that would cripple the whole plot line.
-
@nybill Yep, you have to install a mod to kill everyone in Little Lamplight, too. It was impossible to make my super evil character!
-
@dickturpin Buttcoin should have a picture of Roy Castle playing a high C on his trumpet
-
@nybill I forget who I discuss these things with... one of the reasons I'm so honest. :D
-
@idolrevolver Anyone have a site on my computer badly to the guy he cheated on me at sales@agentbuilderinc.com for details
-
@windigo in the UK you would be a millionaire ;)
