man you guys suck at remembering passwords
« on: June 05, 2010, 04:41:04 PM »
There's a feature in the admin section that logs all forum errors

it seems many of you can't remember the pasword to your account

plus there's some spambots who will try to login literally hundreds of times even after I banned them

but goddamn

It's this crazy modern world! It's too dangerous to have easy to remember passwords, and there are too many sites to check. The human brain can't cope.

Intelligent browsers make it worse - I have no idea what my RPPR password is unless I check firefox options.


Really, the sooner we can all become Borg the better. Individuality is overrated, while password free high speed access to po... internet would be priceless.

"Always keep me logged in". Best button ever. Which is why I have over four weeks of real time logged on this fucking message board.

You know guys, it's a nerd forum, you think you could let your browser save your password for it.

My smart home computing mind and my obedient corporate mind mix. I don't save my passwords.

Part of this is my fault. Sorry :(

Yeah, but then nerds keep accessing the net from different computers/mobile devices. And that's when the wheels come off of mr password train :(

I tried logging into RPPR from another computer, and I was banging my head against the wall every time the firewall said I was using the wrong password. I only have two or three passwords that I use in a couple of different version each, so I was sure I had to have had the right one used.

I still don't know what my RPPR password is. I just went back to my regular computer to log into the site.

What kills me with this password is the requirement for an uppercase letter.  I set it up on my work computer and then go home and i cant figure out why the password doesn't work because i forgot the there is an uppercase letter in my usual password.

The log me in forever button is very useful, I use it on all slangdesign forums as I don't see the need to log in every time.
