to admin, evil passwords

kilobyte · April 12, 2009, 4:06pm

im an new user and id just like the thank you guys for forcing the usage of odd passwords that are not easy to remember…

site would not accept any of the 4 passwords i use for every other site i go to,havent had an issue with this in years… so now every time i want to log in here im going to have to dig through my spam filled email to recover my password since i know ill forget it in a week, and my buddy wont rember it its not going to be saved on any of the 8 compters here, this kinda stuff is a serious issue for me, as i do custom mods on commission for others and me and my buddy need access to the same accounts to communicate with others and attain information,

capitol letters and numbers??? why man why? could i please get one of you guys to change my password to a simpler one?

Hello i am the admin could you give me your credit card number and the 3 digits on the back side?

Thanks.

I don’t believe in the pancake bunny.

Or the pikelet fairy.

Or Father Crepemas.

Is there a capital letter requirement? My password “n1ls1sgh3y” doesn’t have capitals.

stryd_one · April 13, 2009, 3:35am

That password is incorrect. nILS is spelled with a capital S.

Wilba · April 13, 2009, 9:20am

According to TK, it is spelled “NILs”:

A big thank-you goes to NILs for creating the layout,

and TK is never wrong.

TK is never wrong, his shift key might be though. Yeah and those odd passwords are annoying as hell. How is an average geek supposed to remember something like “123ABCabc” or the classic “1qay2WSX”… Actually, now that I think about it - this is like an automated filter - if you can’t remember your password you prolly won’t be able to build a midibox anyways.

FWIW, keepass.

Never noticed it as I always use passwords with mixed case and numbers… It’s basic security.

If you’re not bothered by security then use your name with a capital letter at the start and stick a “1” on the end

Evil usernames anyone?

lucem · April 15, 2009, 6:28pm

HAHAHAHA

Great one!

stryd_one · April 16, 2009, 1:46am

LOL!!

nILS · April 16, 2009, 6:19am

Ahaha, we did that with a college database once, which was needed for some assignment… They did fix their scripts afterwards

I’ve never had trouble logging into the forum, but the wiki has serious issues with my switch-ridden nick. if I put in “/tilted/”, the wiki shits a brick, but if I use “tilted”, it works.
