Ugh, ugh. Even my passwords and stuff had reverted back to old ones... at least the Posts weren't lost though. Will there ever be a way to fix the guest names?

You remember your password from 2003? Holy cow I can't remember what day of the week it is.

I use a complex cryptic algorythym with a double locking enigma with reverse characteration encryption for my passwords. This say they are so complex that only a four year old with an autistic special ability for breaking codes.

The safest thing is to use acronyms. Seems to easy to brute force if you use real words, just use a ten character password that combines numbers with letters that uses the first letters of some catchy phrase that you make up.

OT:
Password best advice is to use at least 3 out of the 4 categories of characters. The four categories are lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. The minimum length should be 8. I've set XP to reject passwords not complex enough. I really ought to set a password expire system up (XP has this), but I don't feel like changing it every couple of months.

Use something like the name of a book you really like. You'll always remember it. For example, my password used to be a 13 letter name of a book that isn't really a word in the english language, but actually a combination of two words. Just try brute force computing to crack that sucker!

Hmm so I have to reregister, well that can be fun. O well. But I liked my post count it was about 70ish

XenoTheMorph · #17 December 19th, 2004, 08:28 AM

Well, if the program goes through book names...

Hmm...guess I better change my password then

I read that news report and checked the fanfiction section....All my hard work was not lost

Not that I mean to go on about it, but when can we expect to be able to post to the forums again?. For SE: Galaxies I do not have permission to add to my empires story.
