BaguaKicksAss Posted October 9, 2013 The catch is, if the captcha was easier to use, said hacker might likely have gotten into accounts with more simple passwords. Well that and the spambots were still getting in when it was an easier captcha. Edit, Apech describes how to do it below . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apech Posted October 9, 2013 I changed my password in my profile page (emails and passwords) without any Catptcha thingy involved. It was easy just put your old password then the new one twice and that's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted October 9, 2013 Yeah just nm what I typed, thank you Apech, I forgot that regular members can easily change their passwords! (us tech and mods can't lol). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Posted October 9, 2013 I changed my password in my profile page (emails and passwords) without any Catptcha thingy involved. It was easy just put your old password then the new one twice and that's it. Yeah, that worked fine for me, too -- until I realized that the other two devices I had connected got signed out and I didn't remember my username. After several guesses (including the correct one, strangely enough), I did a password reset. The Captcha thing worked fine but I had to zoom in and out because I was doing it on my (woefully misnamed) smartphone -- because I was too lazy to walk to another room and log into a real computer... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trunk Posted October 10, 2013 More important than changing your current pw is to do not click-confirm any password-change-confirmation e-mails that you did not initiate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted October 10, 2013 The most important thing really is to have a pw which is at least 8 characters long, preferably with capitol letters and/or letters and NOT any words found in the dictionary, nor common pet names . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaguaKicksAss Posted October 11, 2013 Hmmm...A Password 8 Characters Long, huh ? How about "snow white and the seven dwarfs" ???? Would be just fine for TTBs . Though SwAtsD33 would be better for say your bank, a shopping site and so forth! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
