Yeah, because that's totally gonna protect you from

1. People reading your mails
2. People stealing user data from <company>

Using complex passwords prevents bruteforcing weak hashes from some db dump, or login pages with no rate limiting. If your password is simply stored in plaintext, or echoed back at you, the complexity of your password becomes meaningless.

That seems ripe for exploitation if your ISP doesn't prevent IP spoofing.

>>57128498
but the point of random passwords is that if you lose from one service
it won't matter for all the other ones

>you haven't changed your password in over 90 days
>for security reasons, your account has been locked

>>57128549
What does that have to do with anything ITT?

Random/complex/hard-to-guess passwords are useless, if they are stored in plaintext on <company> database, or sent to you in plaintext.

Can we play PoE on loonix now without doing some weird tricks with Steam and Wine ?

The service might be something important like University portal credentials. I'd definitely prejudice that as an indicator for a shit institution/service.

I remember when Chris Wilson (main dev) used to post on /v/ during the beta phase. Too bad he's full Reddit tier now.
