Just got an email that my password was changed by an administrator. Came on had to enter the new password. Went in to change it back to the same password I use for all my Internet forms to find out passwords need to contain 10 characters and include uppercase lower case a number and a symbol? Wtf I don't use such a complicated password for my online banking! It's a Internet public forum not hillary Clinton's email account with classified emails.

FYI using the same password everywhere is considered very bad practice. Announcing it on the internet might be worse. One site gets hacked and they get access to many of your accounts.

If you don't want to deal with remembering complex passwords there are tools like LastPass or KeePass to handle it (and auto fill sites/applications for you). I'm wondering if the forum owners got hacked and chose not to disclose to us. Obviously https://haveibeenpwned.com doesn't have it, but I can't see a mass email reset for another reason. On a different note making complex passwords can be easy, open a book choose a chapter and use its chapter title and page number/first sentence and give the book name as a hint. A sentence can often satisfy requirements or theres generators online that'll make a pronounceable password that meets complexity reqs you set

I'l agree announcing the change from an email ending in a different URL than the forum and having a plaintext password in email vs it set to force a change on next login were poor ideas.

Now can someone trade me some cold weather or rain for 102 and sunny?

Yeah no **** it's not good practice. I would never use the same password for my online banking, credit card online accounts, paypal, etc. Basically anything that has money or identity information has secure passwords but come on this is an Internet forum. What would be the point of hacking into someone's forum? They have nothing to gain no matter if they get into one or 10 of my Internet forums. At this point there is more information and better conversations on facebook anyways

Yup, this is only an Internet forum ain't doing BS Random numbers..... Keep it simple do your user name start with a Capital letter, then symbol like / ,@,# between the number like area code,street address, zip code or even 1234......

Hmmmmm..... You seem to know a lot about this stuff, you ain't a hacker are you?????? Got any fish pics???

But obviously anyone posting on here has gotten their new password

 

[why3zx]

WOW I use a single simple password and it works for all my accounts including my bank account

This is why forums have to take a security breach seriously.

 

[sagebrush]

Dont you all know everything on the Internet has a conspiracy theory tied to it? I think "fish feel" is on to us and the uppers are trying to hide the fact.. Lol but for real, the 45 day thing is nuts. Hasn't any of your experiences as a boat engineer or at the LEAST your mama ever told you that if it aint broke, dont fix it?

 

[sagebrush]

Im willing to barter.. Gimme one password change (this recent one), gps to a favorite honey hole and a 12 of Guinness, and ill quit with the biitching and fire my lawyer

 

[Bisch]

Man, all this over a password change???? And I totally agree with the above, if you ar using the same password for everything you are setting yourself up to get robbed, or be the victim of identity theft, or both!

I guess I'll chime in..Call me ol fashioned (I'm only 36), but I don't use credit cards, debit cards, facebook, and honestly I maybe check my email once a month, if that. I'm not into telling the world what I'm doing everyday, mostly because it's nobody's business and I'm sure they could give a chit less. Passwords are a PITA and like some others on here, I do use the same one for most of my accounts because it is what I can remember. Do I care if I get hacked...no I do not. Hack me all you want! You could get the shirt off my back, but it's wore out so if you want it that bad you can have it :laugh: Please don't make my life any more complex than it already is.

I received my new super secret hard to crack password in plain text into the email acct I use for forums...the password for that email acct is 8 letters and ends in assword. I feel much safer with this beefed security, thanks.
