Absolutely no problems my end, changed it multiple times, but I tried your hotpot without the capital. We are talking about this forum? Was it this forum that said it was too weak, or some other drop-down thing from your browser or something? Try a variation on your hotpot.
This is a joke in the wrong forum Andy, at least I think he's joking. Passwords are hashed so we can't ever see the contents because information is lost in the hashing algorithm process.
Interesting story that has not yet concluded. A friend of mine works in IT and was approached by a colleague in Accounts. She seen an email in her sent items that had a subject she didn’t recognise. Though had been liaising with the supplier about payment. Upon opening the email she discovered it was a conversation between herself and a supplier, however she had no knowledge of the conversation! Upon investigation it seems the account was hacked. The hacker had very timely chanced upon the email when a transaction was taking place. Said hacker advised the supplier that there was a change in banking details. All of this hidden from the lady in accounts as the incoming emails were responded to outside working hours and then permanently deleted. Hacker even dropped into the conversation that they were working late to catch up on work in case it was queried. This is a convo between UK and the Philippines incidentally so the supplier may not have noticed the out of hours disparity. It’s looking, though not yet confirmed that the hacker may have got 67k Euros. Edit: The IT guy checked the mail headers and it seems the server is sat in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. He’s passed the retrieved email (hacker forgot or missed in deleting) to his IT HQ for analysis. They are a global company and Microsoft provisions the email.
Never used to be able to use my WiFi at the farm until I moved my router into the barn... now it’s stable!
I asked the librarian rather loudly for the WiFi password. She said sshhhhhhh. I said is that all in lower case!
Ok, maybe one more... Asked the barman what the wifi password was. He said “First you need to buy a drink”. I bought a beer, and asked again. He said “First you need to buy a drink, all lower case, no spaces”.
I didn't realise it was possible to have so many password jokes. They are so funny. I can't cope. Please. Stop. I had my Ebay password hacked and stuff ordered in the summer. Full refund given quickly, no questions, but I'm still wondering how it was done as my password was complex (great support from a call centre in the Philippines). I think I know how this happened. Also once I had my email account hacked while I was using the bus wifi, of all things! And I'm supposed to be fairly intelligent when it comes to technology. The worst was dealing with people who had their shopping accounts taken-over. I hated the bit when you have to tell them it's a real possibility and they go into panic mode.
Depends what you think complex is Andy, I know so many people that use the number for letter in a word substitution method and that's just a tiny variation on a straight dictionary attack the computer would hardly blink cracking that kind of password. If it was a complex nonsense phrase based password mixed with non significant numbers and characters it is far harder to use a dictionary attack to crack it and in that case it is more likely a key logger or social engineering of some kind.
