The next time you log on to the twitch.tv streaming service, you'll find that your password has been reset. That's due apparently to a security breach; Twitch published a blog post a few hours ago stating that there "may have been unauthorized access to some Twitch user information" and that the company has suspended passwords and stream keys across all its accounts. It's also disassociated all of them from Twitter and YouTube so you'll need to authorize them all over again.

Source

Interesting... and means reconfiguring mIRC and other IRC clients/bots as well for the hash.

Yeesh.... these new password restrictions are absurd. So far I haven't even been able to come up with a password that doesn't get rejected as "very weak". You would think 10+ characters including digits and special characters would be enough...
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.

Here's a tip for everyone who may have trouble with coming up with new password just for twitch and "prefer" to use an easier password or the one that was before you were forced to change:

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.

The worst ones are when they try to make you use a strong password, but use such rigid restrictions that they actually make it easier to hack.

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.

The most fun password changes are the applications that force you to change every 3 months (or whatever) but allow you to use the same password as last time.

Use a password safe program, there's really no reason not to. There's plenty of options out there, they save all your passwords in one location, they'll make up complex passwords for you to use, they're ez as fuck to deal with. You can be a boss and set all your security questions to super complex random passwords as well for bonus safeguarding. Honestly you know you have apps for the dumbest shit in the world, there's no reason you shouldn't have one for your passwords.

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.

IF you store your passwords locally they have to get into your phone for starters. 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.

Its a pain to switch everything over initially but it'll be worth it in the end. 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.

Off topic: I never realized a "gunsafe" is a common household object in the US. Is it like a big heavy breadbox stuck on a shelf somewhere? Or built in the wall?

Somehow my main email was compromised last week.. Today I got the email that Twitch was compromised and saw it as a connection... Thankfully I wasn't alone, but having someone go into your email you've had for 17 years is extremely unsettling.
I had a dream I moved to Korea to become a GSL champion. I slept in PC bangs and practiced only vs the PC. I named my self Death and faced Life in the finals. I beat him, but ended up dying as I killed his last building.
