Which is why you'd better send your passwords to me, I'm the official Password Inspector. It's the most reliable method of finding out if your password has been compromised!

I just follow the advice in the article and use P@ssw0rd for everything. It's safe for one ISO standard Mount Rushmore carving time span.

It's annoying that this kind of bad password logic has persisted for so long. There's no reason these days for anything to have a character limit in how long your passwords can be and it's so much easier to just teach the logic of "longer is better". A password like "ThisIsMyPasswordPleaseRememberIt" is so much more secure than "P@sSw0rD" and yet also much less of a pain in the rear end to remember.

A lot of attacks will be dictionary attacks that make all the common and not-so-common substitutions as well, so "P@ssw0rD" is basically just as garbage as "Password". Everyone should use a password manager that generates random 16-32 character passwords and secure it with a six word passphrase, preferably also randomly generated.

Yeah I was ignoring dictionary attacks there because obviously any variation on "Password" is even worse than just random characters of an equal length. It's just that even ignoring that, no matter how many special characters you throw into your short password, a long password with no special characters at all will be stronger.

One of my fave SA memories is when like hundreds or thousands of goons got hacked bc they had SA passwords like “password” and “123456”, and Lowtax got pissed and instituted absurd password requirements. It was like “15 character minimum with uppercase, lower case, numbers, and symbols” What you get out of hacking someone’s SA account I do not understand. Maybe you could hack an admin and permaban all your Posting Enemies?

Goddamn I just noticed the all the seconds entries that are greater than 60. And the milliseconds that go from very precise (hundredths) to not at all, then randomly a tenth in there. This has to be a photoshop or troll, right? Not just stupidly bad data.
