More importantly, when did you back up all your personal data on your harddrive? |

I haven't changed it since I started and I never will. There is no reason to change it. You don't know what it is, and you've got a pretty large dictionary to guess through. Good luck. that'll take about .3 of a second if I actually bothered to try. maybe .4 if I use a particularly large dictionary. So many people say this, yet so few actually DO it. Come on. Got a whole ripe account here for the taking. Unless you're actually wrong and I'm right... Happened to me already, took 4 days to get my characters and stuffs back. I suspect the hacker used a password cracker as my pass was random letters and numbers i punched in to set it. Probably just used a keylogger as he got my login name too apparently
If he logged your user ID he probably logged your password. It's amazing how many people assume that their password was cracked while they refuse to accept that they handed it out. It might not have even been a keylogger, maybe you used the same username/password combo elsewhere, or you wrote it down and someone found it, or you told someone and they told someone else...
There are many ways "hackers" can get your password, but cracking it is not one of them. |

Its the same reasoning that the longer you own a house, the more likely it will burn down. So its best to move every 6 years.
Only way a new code will help is if you change it during a known attempt and backtrack over a random set that has already been used. You may even speed your own demise by swapping it to a code that would come up sooner in an algorithm.
You stick with a strong random password and don't reuse it with another program. The end. |

Which raises the question again:
When will CCP implement key fobs?
(They were handed out as toys last Fanfest, but not a single peep since then about when we'd be able to purchase or use them.) |
