    Are junior members not included?... I have not changed my password in ... well I think since I first set it...
    Is everybody just counting the days in between or is there a faster way to find out how many days you have not changed your pass? ... not that counting is too hard..

    It should show a message if you haven't changed in the day limit.

    Your password is 391 days old, and has therefore expired.

    Please change your password using this page.

    Isn't the whole idea of changing your password actually changing it? As in, not leaving it the same?

    I can also enable the option that doesn't allow you to use the same password, but I didn't touch this option for the users desperate to keep their old password.

    00:58 < rulereric> Your password is 1225 days old, and has therefore expired.
    Beat that.



    The best way to contact me is by email, which you can find on my website: http://wizzup.org
    I also get email notifications of private messages, though.

    Suggestion: Instead of trying to remember or write down many passwords. Just have one really difficult password, example :jesussaveszombies

    Now, to find out your password, you do the md5 of the website's name+your master password.

    Example: md5("villavu.comjesussaveszombies")

    Now, if anyone compromises your password, they only have access to one site. And any functioning system has a md5 command, so as long as you remember your master password, you can login to any website.


    EDIT: And it is impervious to rainbow tables and such, so even if the database gets compromised, your password is secure, assuming only the hash of your password is stored (So actually md5(md5("villavu.comjesussaveszombies"))).

    P.S. No, don't even try, my master password is not jesussaveszombies.

    And check out my pascal interpreter!

    You should also make the password required to have at least two of these this:Upper and lower case, symbols or numbers. that shouls help the strength of passwords

    Why does the page that forces you to reset the password keep on refreshing making you unable to change it?

    I use the same password everywhere except for RuneScape and my hotmail. I think it's really strong. It doesn't have anything to do with me. Something radnom as "chair14mouse". And on top of that it's norwegian. :P

    The only true authority stems from knowledge, not from position.

    You can contact me via matrix protocol: @grats:grats.win or you can email me at the same domain, any user/email address.
