The Village Idiot Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 With the discussions going on about passwords it reminded of a little trick I used to use on my passwords many moons ago. Here's a shedley challenge below is password can anyone tell me what I have actually typed (I did NOT use the space bar). Put that character in your passwaords and nobody will guess it.

The Village Idiot Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yep which one ? How do you type in ? (for all the windows users out there - ah give me my old DOS back please) Guaranteed put in a password nobody will break it Richard Every dirty job dirty dick does!!!

The Village Idiot Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 I use ALT + 255, it's the ASCII unassigned number right at the end of the ascii table. In the days before proportional spacing it looked just like the space bar had been pressed, but it is a 'non' character just like a little vacuum within the computer, very usefull thing when programming. Enter it on a password and it will be safe from people 'guessing' your password as discussed elsewhere here this weekend. I have to say Mav you have won the computer nerd of the day award 😬 (and I thought it would be Myles who got it).

mav Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Not tricky when you know where to look and what to look for. Not bad for a network geek eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I was away from PC land over the weekend. Haven't tried it myself, but there are a huge number of online services that will only accept characters that are pure alphanumeric (i.e. no symbols). Most annoying. 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Equipe™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Years ago I discovered I had the same pin number as Mr WC ... he'd chosen his and I'd used the default one sent by the bank with a new card!! *eek* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTD Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Years ago I discovered I had the same pin number as Mr WC ... he'd chosen his and I'd used the default one sent by the bank with a new card!! Must have been helpful - reminds of Mrs GTD's shock when we opened a joint bank account and the bank sent her a Paying In book 😔 This space deliberately left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
