I'm amazed on how complex and sophisticated the Lugnet password system is.
There are the password suggestions, Password strength analyzer which even
includes an internal dictionary and gives you the CPU time that it took to
analyze the password... I tried P4#$37FG and it barely passed.  Ability to
have multiple passwords (which means having a separate database table just
for the passwords), retire old passwords, etc, etc.

Yup, it's a serious system.  Most systems don't take pw issues seriously.


The funny thing is that the password doesn't really protect anything other
than the rating system and one's collection ... the last time I checked I
could post under someone else's username :-P

We'll see how many people find it funny nine months from now.

Huh?

Ther is only one thing I can think of that has a nine month
completion cycle, and it doesn't have a thing to do with passwords.
Could you elaborate?

Maybe Todd will finally unveil his gigantic space minifig colony.  He's been
promising it since '98 .... That would be something to see!  I'm not laughing
any more :-O
