    I use an algorithm to mentally generate individual passwords for each site. I use a separate, easy to change algorithm for work because they make me change my password every 3 or 4 months.

    Maybe I can quit my job and start a magazine called "guns and gardening"

    That seems like it could hit a lot of markets.

    A couple years ago they changed the password restrictions for our AD passwords and so my existing passwords were no longer valid.

    I spent over 10 minutes coming up with more and more complex passwords that it kept saying were invalid. It wouldn't accept anything, including a random character password over 20 characters long. I finally just did a two word rude phrase in frustration, which it accepted.

    So that + incrementing numbers has been my password ever since because now I'm scared to try anything else for fear I'll just lock myself out permanently.

    Oooh, someone got us a rull nice closeup of the Falcon 9 with EchoStar XXIII on top! :)

    xvdLPGk.jpg

    Conspicuously absent: Landing legs and grid fins. This booster ain't coming back, it's got too much lifting to do. Sacrificing itself for the greater good!

    Launch window opens at 01:34 EDT, so unless I stay up late I won't be covering this one live. An excellent launch to watch for you West Coast folk (10:34pm), or you early-morning Europeans (05:34 UTC).

    Weather is so-so for this launch window tonight though, but failing that it will try again 48 hours and 1 minute later :P

    But anywho, there she is in all her glory! Wave goodbye when you watch the launch, because there will be NO landing attempt!

    As I mentioned earlier, this is the 2nd of up to 5 launches from Cape Canaveral this month, which is pretty freaking cool. Space Coast is back, babay!

    you should all just come up with an appropriate passphrase, use it to lock your one password vault, and then let your shit be truly random generated for you everywhere.

    The two requirements that I mentioned (low min/low max length and lots of arbitrary rules) are both really common and really awful practices.

    It's pretty amazing.
    Malbolge figures out which instruction to execute by taking the value [c], adding the value of c to it, and taking the remainder when this is divided by 94. The final result tells the interpreter what to do[...]

    Hm I just don't understand how seriously the government sponsor wants this proposal to be in this horrifying format.
    As it is, I have a nice proposal that you can read through and follow logically. As they (maybe) want it to be, I'd have to add ~10 pages of entirely redundant shit . It probably doesn't matter either way, but it feels so bad to turn a good document into a bad one that I keep hoping they don't really mean it?

    I guess they probably do, though, or, at the very least, they won't hold it against us if we follow their horrible structure and they might if we don't. Grosssssssssss

    I want touchID and similar tools to be accepted for AD authentication so badly. fuck having to type those passwords in at all unless you are going in through a website or a new machine.

    Validate the computer, auth with biometrics, reset passwords only in the event of breaches.

    plus the removal of spaces from this made it less secure than the first option, though that first option could stand to add a capital letter or two, and not be in reference to the 1:40 scale statue sitting on their desk.

    I'm not a fan of biometrics because I'd rather tell someone my password at gunpoint than have my hand cut off or my eye gouged out.

    you are probably not that important. (edit: not you specifically, speaking to the more broad you most of the time)

    That is pretty much the counterpoint to every paranoid person I have ever met. What are you doing / what do you have access to that justifies the level of effort needed to bypass your security measures?
