@stux True story: I had to help someone log in once and their password was: passw0rdz. π€― @stux Could all that Botox between her eyebrows be paralysing her brain? @stux @giant_awake Ich bin gerade mit admin / admin an einem ArtNET-Interface gescheitert. Richtig war: Admin / Admin. π @stux cue the guy working for Paypal whose credit card number root encryption key password was... "a$$word". Source, what a read: https://max.levch.in/post/724289457144070144/shamir-secret-sharing-its-3am-paul-the-head-of @stux a bunch of my exes know my basic password. I dont use it for important stuff though. None of them have ever signed into the stuff I use that password for, like, oh I dunno, the online store where I bought my hair dye. LOL Random logins like that. @stux oh, brother!! She just didn't clue in. *shakes head* π₯΄ππ€¦π»ββοΈπ€ @stux What happened to making up nonsensical funny dada poems, then taking the first letter of each word and all the punctuation, and throwing in a few numbers? As long as you can remember the poem, you can remember the password. But you never recite the poem in public, of course - just make up a new one on the spot to teach other people this method. @stux The Helpdesk Admin once reset my password for the Mailaccount: Test1234. Well known tricks: befriend, chitchat, and let them talk... And in the end 90% make obvious choices, names of pets, loved ones, easily rememberable dates... etc etc... Admin Admin... sigh... @Eetschrijver @stux Yeah, I know the 0000 ;) The 2 factor authentication nowadays makes it much safer, but also (much) more annoying... Also! But for (my) work, for "official" tooling and logon to company network it's mandatory... And monthly changes to the PWDs... And then there are cheat sheets.... (writing them doing)... @stux People need to learn to answer questions like this: It's None Of Your Business π€ͺπ© @stux I understand her choice of password, she really has trouble to get hold of the blood of a virgin. @stux .. would it be easy to get her in bed as well? .. I mean really .. come on lady. ππ @stux Username: password @jargoggles I'm super mega super sure those combo's are in each basic wordlist :blobcatgiggle: @stux The excellent "Ted Lasso" had an episode with this: |
@stux Social engineering in its purest, most basic form π
