[Notice] Gamer Safety Week: 2/10 - 2/14

That would only be true if they used bruteforcing, keyloggers will get it no matter how strong the password is.

Tell me something I don't know.

Tell me something I don't know.

I would but then you would probably make the same remark regardless of whether its true or not.

Can we put special characters as our password?

Yes, you can use special characters like #@!$%^&*()_+ .

[Dark Link]

That would only be true if they used bruteforcing, keyloggers will get it no matter how strong the password is.

If people are dumb enough to even get keylogged in the first place then they deserve it.

[Declaimed]

Think I'm covered for a few lifetimes or so.

Why are you idiots submitting your confidential passwords to websites they don't belong to?
In a thread about account safety and security, no less.

I would actually find it quite amusing if they took the time to find out what exactly the password that I entered is associated with.

[Grimorel]

I used a old Password that I had about 6 months ago. I think I'm pretty safe if I continue to use my special password making method

Am I missing something or does that website just compute how long it would take to brute force the total number of combinations?

As in, how long it'd take to crack is based on length and not special character combinations or whatever.

How much it would take to bruteforce, yes.

It also checks with a list of the top 5000 or something most common passwords. The method seems to be 'Check on list' -> if not, bruteforce.

Has Nexon ever admitted to having a database leak?

I find it somewhat odd that there have been a large amount of hackings (in Scania, at least), and Nexon would put this up.

[xparasite9]

Has Nexon ever admitted to having a database leak?

um...not.... not explicitly no.
I think the closest they came was with the MTS thing?

[kayeyearekay]

iirc, there were two large ones; the mts, and the dragon nest/maplestory crossover

[WubYou4ever]

Cool ;o Guess I don't have to worry ( I think)

It would take a desktop PC about Infinity years to crack your password."
