Yes that is a good but really obvious tip. My chatlogs on my computer have a password only I know so I don't have my parents going though what I talk about with my friends.
Don't expect account to be safe when you give around your password.. Lol I know people who gave out their password, and got all their files deleted.. well what did you expect?
I would hope that this was common sense. It's kind of obvious that passwords are meant to be kept secret, that's the entire point of them. But what are you going to do? There are people who think computer viruses are contractible by humans...
Aniki...you don't know how funny this whole thread is and how its such an irony
 Also don't give out the Md5 for your pass, epically if its a simple pass.
Dude people give me passwords... lol... I have a whole collection in my chat logs now
 I don't plan on doing anything with them... not yet at least XD
This tip is so obvious, even I think people's grandparents know that too.
DUH! xboxrulz
Lol this is so funny.
I fked a site up that gave me the pass (ofc i waited a long time). If its so obvious ask nintendo why he's telling you?
LOL. XDD Funny. It's weird how people give out passwords, knowing that they can be exploited. The same with locker combinations; most of my friends, for some reason, give out their combinations to pretty much the entire school population. Then they complain about how things mysteriously disappear from their locker, like their pens, sweaters, cameras...
And the chat log thing. I save those too. Except no one tells me their passwords through there, so it's not like I have a list of accounts I can hack into whenever I want. But that brings up the point that everyone should watch what they're saying online; in a way, it's like writing a letter to someone - every word you say can potentially be recorded and used against you.

Heh obvious tip here, anyone that isn't an idiot knows not to.
Common sence here. It's the same as accepting files of other people, downloading programs you don't know etc.. Just don't do it  -HellFire Latest EntriesQUOTE(Nintendo @ Jun 3 2007, 06:05 PM)  Here's a tip: NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD OUT. Lols. Never. EVER. EVER. EVER. Unless you make it JUST for that.

Well, i must say, the irony of this topic is funny as hell.
Thanks SF, il remember that damn it, i thought you had forgotten, now i have to go through the trouble of changing my password on my wii (its hard) lol appears i now have -35 credits too, i musta been gone a long time
It is common sense. So much common sense that I feel no sympathy for morons that give their hotmail/ebay password in so called 'fake administration mails'.
'Sharing an account can compromise its security'
There are some people who do give out their passwords, though you've usually formed a "Trusting" relationship with them that they do this.
Phishing sites are problematic and can con people into revealing too much information, so always ensure the site is correct and if possible, always use Secure logins, which usually means the site address is prefixed with https:// and a security lock in your web browser is shown. It would also need a valid Security Certificate though some Trusted sites may have their certificate expired which doesn't mean you have to stop trusting them, just means they haven't gotten round to updating it. If you feel you need to give out your password so that someone can help you, it's best to create that person a temporary account if possible, which you can remove after they've performed what was needed but remember you shouldn't give them too much access. If that's unavoidable too, then ensure you have backed up all your vital information or store it in a protected location where they can't access it, in case the trust breaks down and havoc is created. I do a lot of computer work for people who give me their passwords so I can finish the job, but I never store them and usually forget them, unless I often visit them but I rather my services or their word of mouth not give me a bad reputation for mishandling their confidentiality.

I don't like the way the password storage works...so I use keepass. It's free, open-source, runs on everything imaginable, and encrypts your database with 256 bit symmetric AES crypto. The firefox password storage is pretty safe on a data level with regard to encryption, but getting passwords out of an already authenticated session is just a little too easy for me to regard it as "secure". That and the firefox password storage doesn't always understand that there is a password to be remembered. |
