Re: SpaceEmpires.net
Ugh, ugh. Even my passwords and stuff had reverted back to old ones... at least the Posts weren't lost though. Will there ever be a way to fix the guest names?

Re: SpaceEmpires.net
That's a shame Fyron, but at least you got it back up. As for the forums, Guest id's are 100% better than losing all those Posts.

You remember your password from 2003? Holy cow I can't remember what day of the week it is.

Re: SpaceEmpires.net
I use a complex cryptic algorythym with a double locking enigma with reverse characteration encryption for my passwords. This say they are so complex that only a four year old with an autistic special ability for breaking codes.

Re: SpaceEmpires.net
The safest thing is to use acronyms. Seems to easy to brute force if you use real words, just use a ten character password that combines numbers with letters that uses the first letters of some catchy phrase that you make up.

OT:
Password best advice is to use at least 3 out of the 4 categories of characters. The four categories are lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. The minimum length should be 8. I've set XP to reject passwords not complex enough. I really ought to set a password expire system up (XP has this), but I don't feel like changing it every couple of months.
