I used the same password again because I didn't want to have more than one associated with [email protected].
I generate unique passwords for all accounts. In this case it was a simplification to preserve "single-sign-on" between the openoffice.org site and the bugzilla here. And whatever else it accomplished, the issues that I had previously filed are now again "hot" with links in the places where "orcmid" appears. Since the password is still not useful except where I have [email protected] on an account, I am not too worried that I have expanded my personal attack surface in any significant way. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Eike Rathke [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 10:58 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/ is now live - Regression Check Hi Dennis, On Tuesday, 2011-08-30 17:52:38 -0700, Dennis E.

In fact that's contradictory to anything that's usually said about choosing passwords. The new Bugzilla also isn't coupled to the OOo user database anymore, so there's really no need to have identical passwords. However, while currently the @openoffice.org mail forwarder still exists that may change in future, so setting up a different mail address with BZ probably needs to be done anyway at some point.
