no need to change for me 14 random letters and numbers is secure enough for me
A better suggestion:Ain053 wrote:
Good one peppy, Now I have no clue my next password. But yeah, this is for the best.
Time to help a bit.
Use something like '153ELaIsMolSm' as password, if you can remember, use several capital letters. Signature number is great too, like my 053 in Ain053, It's certainly not because Ain052 won't work. Just pick your favorite number (Preferably 3 Digit like 423), EXCEPT, 13 and 666 as they are known as Devil's number and IS quite popular. Don't put your username or something familiar or related as password, they are just easier to guess.
Make your password a piece of text. It could be some quote from literature, lyrics from a song, or dialog from a movie. As long as it's not "never gonna give you up" or something else which is easily guessable (though Rick Rolling hackers does sound like fun).
The only problems with using passphrases are that some sites limit the number of characters in your password and sometimes the chosen text is in a dictionary or is easy to brute force.
If you're really paranoid, throw in some numbers and punctuation or use .
(As if this information matters.)

Just a side note. If you want the strongest password you ever had, use definitely [b]12 characters[/] of lowercase, uppercase, and numbers. I once read an article about this. Password which consist of 12 characters is hard to be hacked by some of hacker's application.strager wrote:

Good to know, my password just happens to be 12 characters :9VanMoNky wrote:

well it was before I changed it for this.
Everyone should change the password since this is good for this game ._<
BTW here is a strong password generator for those who're lazy to think of your new password~
http://strongpasswordgenerator.com/
For myself I think 30-digit prime with half of them being random stuffs inside it would be secure enough orz

I was thinking of changing my password sometime soon anyways, thanks for warning us peppy, i changed my password
Changed ~~
pass changed.
Is there any way to check if my account was accessed by someone other than myself during the vulnerable time? a login history view or something that shows IP?

Brb changing password; but besides when I get unbanned, who would want to log in as me and wh- okay now I see.
Not using StrongPasswordGenerator.com, because the password is too damn long for me to remember. Especially if it's eighteen characters. >_<

I remember my password, duh. I just have it saved on my browser so I don't have to type it in all the time.crystalsuicune wrote:

And you can take a USB key with you or sync something, but that's kind of unsafe.
On that note, though, who would log onto the osu! forums on a public computer? I sure wouldn't.

Why not? Afraid of copyright disputes? The sheer pinkness in public? Sure, you don't have a client, but that doesn't mean you can't check up on maps you're following / making.Pokebis wrote:

I'd personally find it a nuisance to have to change my password when I get home which seems like a reasonable thing to do after logging on to the forum on a public computer.K2J wrote:

Or you could, you know. Make sure it doesn't save your password by not checking the save box, and log out when you leave.
I don't trust those filthy computers and their monstrous spyware! I guess.Azure_Kyte wrote:

I rather use 2nd ID to log in.Jarby wrote:

SPOILER
YEAH LIKE IT'S ALLOWED TO CREATE 2ND ID IN OSU
Ah, I see. As a university student, my perception of "public" means "log in using your student ID", so there's an extra layer of security that makes me not too worried.
This is just general curiosity, but: what does the above accomplish?peppy wrote:

Avoiding getting your account deactivated probably

I guess changing password is a must now. :c
Don't want to get deactivated.
Don't want to get deactivated.
My password is reeaaaaallly secure :3
question over here
if they still don't change their password within months, will they get permanently deactivated?peppy wrote:
Any accounts that don't have their password changed within a couple of weeks will be temporarily deactivated (requiring email reactivation)
the only accounts that ever get permanently deactivated are the ones that are used for cheating in some fashion or another
i don't think there's ever been an inactivity purge and i doubt there ever will be

Pass is all changed and I'm glad peppy added the password protection to the forums too.
So if you type your password on any post it comes up as *'s

I'm not changing mine, it's strong enough for brute-force to take 5 centuries.
And I don't feel like remembering another one complicated password.

He meant he's not changing to OTHER psw and he stays with this one he's got by now.James2250 wrote:

Wow. I didn't know that this was going on. I guess being informed about what's going on with Osu! has become another of many casualties of my college classes.
btw password changed.
btw password changed.
Have you considering putting an in-game message so the non-forumers will change their PWs too?
I'm totally predicting a panic when the accounts get deactivated.

That's a good idea but I think it's a little late for that. Peppy did say he would deactivate accounts that didn't have a password change in a couple of weeks and it's been about three weeks since he made the announcement.
I guess that all we can do is hope that most people have changed their passwords and that those who haven't will be able to reactivate their accounts quickly.

My pass is fine its 12 characters from a random password gen, not to mention that i have the password backed up on a txt file on a usb i almost never use. good luck to the poor guy that tries to crack my pass
if you think your pass is fine, change it, and then change it back after the account disabling finishes

I know this is a bit delayed, but I have deactivated accounts that have not changed their password in the last month and have also not been logged into in the last month.
I will be sending out a round of emails today targeting the 40k odd people that have logged in in the past month but have not changed their password.
