(edited)
Ok, it actually was plain text at first But that changed to MD5 somewhere between 1.61 (April 2001) and 1.8 (March 2002), maybe in 1.65 or 1.7 ...


Account hacking and identity theft weren't as big back then. And there weren't password sniffing bots checking every site for security loopholes.

Not a big deal, but just one of those things I'd be missing.

I, for one, wholeheartedly agree. It's nice to post while logged out too if you need too >.>

And that ... this was at a time when PHP still enabled register_globals by default, not even deprecated And it still took a whole year before the many security holes started causing problems ...


And yeah, I put those autofilled fields in for the same reasons, remember how many of us had alternate accounts back then

I'm not sure if I ever posted at any AcmlmBoard while logged out. I'm pretty sure that I never have at Jul, though.

Yeah, in the early 2000s there weren't nearly as many bots in general. Web sites usually only needed a username, password, and maybe E-mail to register, not all these CAPTCHAs and such.

E- Actually, I should think twice about posting that

spoiler below was what I said. But I did not mean this to people who might find the F-word offensive.

Glad to see I wasn't affected. Kind of surprising because while my pass is random, it's probably not as secure as ones I have in other important places like school stuff.

Nice work trying to steal my intentionally useless password, Mega Mario.

Did I mention how annoying those autofilled fields are when I change my password?

I never allow autofill password or the use of a master password for security reasons. I've had Arbe hack my smwc account before because it was the same pass as on his board back when I was there. That sure taught me to use different totally random passwords everywhere I go.

Mine was my Y! mail account. Still got the e-mail he mass-raided.

Oh and my initial YT account. Also downed by him.

I am so glad I don't use that password anymore. It wasn't very secure anyways. Hell, I use my reallyold one more often than that one.

Funny how that's easy to say, but hard to do. I have the same password on too many websites (though to be fair, some are slightly modified and it uses letters and numbers, so it's not terrible, but still)

I would reckon he has nothing else to do and is bored, so his recreational activity is trying to next thing to try and annoy us.

...I'm guilty of this as well.
I heard about some Firefox plugin that lets you enter a master password and it'll generate random passwords for the sites you go to or something?

Not a plug-in. Setting. It's in the Option, under Security. Click the checkbox for it.
