Interesting... and means reconfiguring mIRC and other IRC clients/bots as well for the hash.
All Twitch accounts/stream keys have been reset.

1. Make a random password that's allowed by twitch 2. Log in with the new password 3. Go to your profile settings and change password 4. For new password, simply type the "easier" password (or previous password) and save. And that's it! Thank you and your welcome. | ||

One of our government services requires an exactly 8-character password with no special characters, a number and like a capital letter or something. Enforcing super-strong passwords just leads to people sticking post-it notes on their terminals and stuff anyway. You can't really win, other than teaching people the hard way not to use abc123. | ||

Keepass Totally free open source. It ain't pretty but it's what I use. Available for your droid and iphone as well to take your passwords with you. Stores everything locally. 1Password Expensive but prettier I guess. My brother uses it and likes it. Available on all platforms. Lastpass There are free and premium versions. Works on all platforms. Cloud based. Keeping separate complex passwords for everything is a good habit to get into. May as well start now. Thats just 3 varying options, I'm sure there's a million more available. | ||

Then they have to get inside of your password safe program. Now assuming you've used your brain and your phone has a password and your program has a reasonable password I'd say good fucking luck trying to get in. It's not happening. If you use multi step verification its even harder yet. I've still got all my passwords on my computer so even if you do have my phone which you're not getting them out of, I can change them all anyway so congrats on wasting your time. I've also got a USB with all them in my gunsafe. Or you could use post-its... Literally unless you're the rainman of passwords using a program is the safest and most secure option there is. Not a single reason not to protect your shit. | ||

I used to have like 3 passwords for all of my billions of accounts. If somehow someone were able to get ahold of one account they potentially had access to 1/3 of all my stuff. If they get ahold of your email password then the world is their oyster, everything links there. Putting every single account to a unique 256 bit password and changing your security questions to unique passwords of their own might be overkill, but you'll sleep pretty well. If someone wants to crack that shit they've earned it at that point lol. Also with people using credit card/banking info for purchasing everything online with ease it makes even more sense. Protect your shit, no one is going to protect it for you. | ||

Or built in the wall? | ||
