Looks like it's time to begin my new identity here. I feel like fugitive who got a new identity.

Though I probably won't post much anyway, so ... :mellow:

Also, why do keep on getting hacked?

[adame]

My new password email still hasn't been sent.

Check your spam settings and turn it off temporarily if that is the problem.

Funny enough Yahoo recognizes Bethesda as spam yet the actual spam gets through. This is why I prefer Gmail :nope:

Simple answer: Beth didn't get a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_test

One of two answers are most likely: the LulzSec incident proved we were vulnerable, so others poked around to see what we could find (this forum is a treasure-trove of information thanks to so many people using the same password everywhere). The other possibility is that due to certain actions Zenimax has made, certain people aren't happy with the company.

Tip for the future for my fellow KeePass users: create a custom field in KeePass for an account's email address. This will allow you to easily keep track of what email address is associated with what account. As shown in this thread and the previous, losing access to the email address associated with an account is quite easy if you don't keep it up to date.

To do this: Go to the "Advanced" tab for an entry click "add" and give the name "Email". Type your email address into the value. Then in KeePass's main window, go view->Configure Columns. In Custom Fields put a check in the box for Email and click OK. Your email for an account will now be visible for it.

I started doing this a month or two back when I went around modularizing my various email accounts. Knowing what is associated with what account is VERY handy.

This may be even made simpler with the use of http://keepass.info/plugins.html#kpentrytemplates, but I've not tried it myself since it's more than easy enough for me as-is.

There is also probably something similar in LastPass, but I've only fiddled a little with it, enough to gather it's ability.

By the way, slightly OT but... Just as a reminder, no service you register for will EVER ask you for your password. So if you're ever asked for your password, it's a scam.

You mean that email I got from Bluzzard asking me for my Worlt of Warcratf password was a fake? :blink:

If it's from Blizzard yeah. Bluzzard is pretty legitimate if I remember correctly.

Thats good. You had me worried for a second there considering I also gave them my credit card number to prove I was actually the owner of my account.

[Josee Leach]

They'll need the security code too. And your social security number if you live in Amurica.

[Jennie Skeletons]

All these question mark avatars are pissing me off, DAMN YOU HACKERS NOW I HAVE TO READ EVERYBODYS USER NAME TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE! THAT'S TO MUCH WORK FOR ME!

[Sabrina Steige]

that's nothing, I once had to give Blizzard my SSN, my parent's SSN, and my motherr's maiden name just to get my account verified. After verification, they sent me a link to their site (except instead of Blizzard, it was some secure site with 4 sets of 3 numbers in the URL) where I had to fill out an authorization log in form, and only then was I able to give them my mail address for them to send me a free game for all the effort.

Still haven't gotten my free game yet either.

Pshh, all that for a free game? Not worth it, however I had a similar experience when attempting to claim my inheritance from a not-so-close relative in Nigeria. I sent them the $4000 shipping fee and everything, still havent heard back from them yet. I assume its just taking a while to get here.....even though I bought the priority plan.

You know, if your account weren't so old, I'd be convinced you were an intelligent spammer the way you keep mentioning KeePass.

It probably got held up in customs, large valuable furnature, I'm guessing. Hard to get past customs that stuff is. You should have gotten the Priority Plus plan (I got a similar email once, but unfortunately didn't have enough money to get it shipped, so after paying the convenience fee of $500 I just gave up)

I mentioned it in like... 2 posts in this thread. Everyone else has been mentioning it besides me because it's _that_useful_

[mollypop]

As Defron has exemplified, use signatures to attract attention. It's good for the soul to know who's who. :twirl:

Yeah, but in one of those posts you mention it like four times? I'm not going back to check, lol.

I think I'll stick to the more conventional writing it down in a notebook and stashing it in my room either way, though.

You too? It's a small world out there, indeed.

I wonder if we have the same distant relative. :blink:

I couldn't imagine entering my 80+ character passwords in by hand, not to mention the risk of keyloggers

And I mentioned it only 3 times in that post (and once was in reference to everyone else mentioning it), so, ha?

Really, that seems a bit excessive. I'd think anything over 20 uncrackable by brute force provided you utilized all character types (alphanumeric and punctuation).

The program generates it randomly, so why not? As long as the webpage doesn't have a ridiculously small character limit...

[Francesca]

for a good many things, you may be correct, but damned if I'm going to let my ssh server, router, or anything else that is remote-accessed have anything short of 45 characters.

I could show you my log files for before I implemented Fail2Ban to show you why I'd never go with such weak things ever again for anything I own that's web-accessible.

Also, as Nami mentioned, since I already have it all done for me, I might as well max everything out.


... I always find it funny that some of my weakest passwords (from a brute-force standpoint) are for my financial stuff, since those sites limit me to 20 characters

[Jaylene Brower]

Wait a minute...keypass...key...pass. Key as in something used to unlock things. Unlock things...like to a door. The Doors, a popular band back in it's time. Time, an aspect ruled by Akatosh/Alduin. By George guys, this whole breach was caused by the Time Aedra himself to self promote his invention...the keypass.

[tegan fiamengo]

Using the same password, livin' on the edge.
