you can just ask for the password....Originally posted by YUPAPA
There is of course a faster and easier way :classic2:
Some of it is rather pointless too though. My host has a secure login for the control panel, secure email but regular FTP, so each time something gets uploaded my password is sent across the internet in nice plain unencrypted text for everyone along the way to sniff. The length of your password isn't going to make much of a difference then.Originally posted by Lapras
Jan is correct I once knew someone who was very interested in hacking and he told me that it was very important to have long passwords, and that because of IP spoofing someone can bypass security measures that impead a brute force program's ability to access the login page.
