Quick (or not-so-quick) question.
How can one purge passwords that one cannot remember?

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have some sort of "purge all but these (give
list) pw's" and by process of elimination it could purge the others.

Shiri,

You can be the first to try the new "retire all old passwords" option:

You tell it which one to keep, and it purges the others for you.  You can
then add a second or third one back if you like...or just keep one.

BTW, it's significantly less picky about new pw's than it was several months
ago.  I implemented some of KL's and ++Lar's suggestions about brute-force
attack detection and IP-address denial on failed login attempts.

(...) Send me an email tonight and I'll wipe out the lot. (*Don't* mail me your password.) Because they're stored encrypted, there's no way to wipe any one out selectively unless you know what it is. Then you can set up the one you want to keep (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
