This type of 'baby sitting' is creeping into BO more and more under the banner of 'security' ----- Original Message ----- From: Tjerk Hacquebord To: 'BlueOnyx General Mailing List' Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 2:12 PM Subject: [BlueOnyx:06919] Re: Disable Strong Passwords That's exactly my problem with this implementation of the password check. If only somewhere in the password there is a part of a dictionary word it will deny the password while this password could be very very safe. Not the first topic about it..

I mean something like "Fred&44Bloggs!+" which, face it, you're never going to guess, and it's never going to be found by a dictionary attack.

I just have one complaint. If I enter a password: jj%123456&abcdef or something similar, the system will reject it calling it a weak password. If I enter something like: K12345, then the system will call it a strong password.

Then the servers spams all night and you see it in the morning. Email software already remembers the passwords. Even the webmail can be set to remember. >>brute force attacks If the password is too easy, then it takes so few tries to guess it, that they are not blocked. I've had that happen multiple times. ---- Ken M Precision Web Hosting, Inc. http://www.precisionweb.net _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
