blueday,

Pecan pie, but I never have room to eat it that day.

blueday,

Whoa whoa whoa. This is different. Because it affects me. And I am special. Slashees

blueday,

My guess of the top 10 were way off!

Is it possible to safely check for certain characters in a password?

Basic cyber security says that passwords should be encrypted and hashed, so that even the company storing them doesn’t know what the password is. (When you log in, the site performs the same encrypting and hashing steps and compares the results) Otherwise if they are hacked, the attackers get access to all the passwords....

blueday,

They could hash pairs of characters on password creation and store those. Seems like more data points to guess the original password, but maybe the math is hard enough it doesn’t do much.
