Thankfully I wasn't alone, but having someone go into your email you've had for 17 years is extremely unsettling. dont use the same password... | ||

https://xkcd.com/936/ BUT, most of the cases, when you are forced to use very strong password, you are limited to quite few characters (like 12~15). | ||

Just stringing dictionary words like that would get cracked instantly. (see page 3 of http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/05/how-crackers-make-minced-meat-out-of-your-passwords/ for instance) | ||

This is the single best way to do it, no real words makes it even harder for a computer to figure it out. So example: The dog ate five apples and six oranges! Crazy Tdafaso!C BAM! a p w ord. | ||

Until you realise that you forget the 'and' and then have to reset your password because you don't know what you did wrong =) at least that's what would happen to me =( | ||

About Twitch, are financial data stored on the twitch account (like for stream ads)? Or are here other sensible information that can have been stolen? | ||

1."Reset your password Twitch will send reset instructions to the email address associated with your account." 2.I enter my password and email for the account. 3. Sorry, we don't have an email on file for that user account. What, they don't even have an email for my user account? := | ||

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. The thing I don't get about those programs is, how can I trust all my passwords to an application? | ||
