I just wanted to mention but.
Most hackers try to guess really long complicated passwords, but usually if you make your passwords really sympol it will be hard for other people to guess because they assume its like fbdsjhbfhyueyr8y823y483y4274y52b ^3^

Not really. I've had my account hacked with a simple password. A complex password with letters and numbers is a LOT harder to guess. Especially if the word is a word you made up/family term or something.

Hahaha, no one will ever guess my password, it's short for something that only a few people might understand... And you would have to live near me to get it.

I have considered having a password quality filter, but I haven't. Should I? I could insist on MiX3DcAs3 with numbers or even! p_nct_@t!0n. If you think it's worth doing, send me a Suggestion over on that forum.

Some people are just insane and have these hacking things to where it will spit out random combinations of letters and numbers in ass passwords and it will just keep entering thousands by the second until it gets them right. But I doubt someone would do all that for someones WOLFHOME

Ah, in my High school account, I set my password as 'wolf' and a learning-disabled kid got through and messed all my homework up... :|

Yeah, complex passwords, don't tell anyone what they are, etc.


Also no one would use those bots just for one account on wolfhome. Now for THAT I'd say we're too small of a target, and not worth much to serious hackers with that technology.
