Ghostlight posted:I remember Uplay or Games for Windows at some point allowed you to set a password longer than 16 characters but chopped it down without telling you if you did and then fail any attempts to log in with what as far as you were aware was the correct password. That's the best system. It was GFWL, other MS services that used same account supported whatever passwords you wanted, but GFWL client was so well made it didn't like longer than 16 character passwords.

The one that drove me insane was Origen used to not update your password when you changed it unless you restarted the client so you could literally log in with the right password and have it reject it as wrong.

Ubisoft let you enter special characters in your email address like + in some log in zones, but not others, so it was possible to make an account on the Ubisoft website that Uplay wouldn't allow you to attempt to log in as.

The idea of not using an up to date email for what is probably the biggest and longest-running money sink you'll have outside of a house or a car is utterly bizarre to me, but then again so was the idea that a person who can afford a gaming PC and enough games for selling trading cards to be a worthwhile investment not being able to afford as basic an amenity as a smart phone and the internet proved me wrong on that one.

Do you have any idea how easy it is to make a wax imprint from that?? Also it'd be better to use a random person's grave as anyone could guess Einstein given enough time, noob.

Also, having a defunct e-mail address as your login for Steam is a great way of having absolute account protection.

Password chat: make a random alphanumeric string up, like IXfQi5. Every password you make will have this in it, and you'll remember it easily because you use it all the time. Then, to make each password unique, add a couple of english words to it that are associated with that particular use. So your SA password might be IXfQi5passwordgaysowhat, bank password IXfQi5imsopoor and so on. Easy to remember, unique for each use, strong, impossible to dictionary attack.

Speaking of hacking passwords, Invisible Inc is 70% on Steam right now so I finally bought it. I got the Contingency Plan DLC too, should I turn that off for my first game(s) to get used to the base game or have it on from the start?

The main game mode is pretty short to run through and I like its balance. The dlc adds like another day to that timer so it's longer and harder.

I don't know what the "right" method of creating passwords is, but considering that even after multiple of them have died I still have active accounts on over 170 sites and services, there's no way I'm remembering all of that poo poo regardless of how simple it might be to do things like make unique passphrases that have a common chunk. Not keeping your passwords on your PC might be a good idea, though. I just don't enjoy having to go through my paper copies to slowly type individual characters every time I have to re-login to some website that forgets my details after 30 minutes. Yes, I'm lazy and don't want to type my random strings out every day.

If I were to see your plaintext password in two different breaches without seeing this post, I might recognize a pattern. Your method is dumb. Firstly you would have to find a place that stores plain text passwords which almost never happens because virtually everyone these days knows to at least store passwords as hashes. Then you'd need to human-read all the passwords in the database looking for patterns to figure out, nobody does this because lol at actually reading 100,000 passwords instead of just feeding them to a bot. Then you'd need to recompute all your rainbow tables and doing that to try and get a chance of a single user's login is an insane amount of work when you can just use automated attacks that compromise the millions of accounts with fewwordenglishpassword by the thousand. You're so much more likely to have you password manager be compromised which is something that actually happens.
