Passwords?

[Adamir he/him]

I'll take a flight to the UK tomorrow, where I'll spend the next three or so months with a laptop rather than the PC I normally use. This wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that I've forgotten my password due to never actually bothering to type it out after my PC stored it, and I've forgotten the password to the e-mail address I used to make the account. Would it be possible for an admin to tell me my password via message?

What browser do you use? If it is auto-filled in the form when you visit the login page, you can get it from there. I can guide you through the process or find a manual on-line on how to do it, just say what browser are you on?

 

Admins are not able to tell what password you use, as it is not stored in the database. The forum database keeps only hashes of our passwords, and it's practically impossible to figure out your password based on the hash.

I use Chrome at the moment; thinking back on it, there are only twenty or so passwords I commonly use. I could just keep trying them and their variants.

Adamir,

I can change both your password and email address to anything you desire. Give me about 30 minutes and I'll PM you.

In chrome you can just go to the settings menu then show advanced settings and scroll down to the passwords section, there should be a button labeled 'manage passwords' if you click that you can see all of your saved passwords.

Chaos, sorry about this - I made this account right before I read your message. Could you PM this? I'm currently in the UK, and thus away from my PC. Also, thanks!
