Ok, I was looking through the forums and I saw another hacked account topic pop up to just say that things have been hacked and to stop YOU being hacked here are a few tips.

• Always change your password after 1 year
  
• Always makesure your password is secure!
  

You must understand if you get your account hacked it's basicly because you haven't got a strong password! There is Nothing that we can do (as a communitee) to help you!

Thanks a bunch!

A lot of these things are common sence really. It's like saying: Don't take candy from a stranger. The same goes for lisences and passwords - don't share information with anyone you don't know as a friend, preferable have meet in real life.

Thanks noob.

**** yourself.

Ah, AMB the master of diplomacy.

Why should we change our passwords each year? Providing the password is secure enough and not something directly linked to your preferences, then it should be fine and not need to be changed. Mine is over 3 years old now, and I have not had my accounts hacked.

Oh and if you have the same passwords for everything then you deserve to get hacked, obviously having a weak password is YOUR own fault.

I knew this thread was by stig when I saw the how not to get your account hacked (before even going into general discussion)

Fail

He gets on my nerves, he's like lerts, but the difference is he's a phucking retard, anyway thanks

Oh and Stig, it should be How TO NOT get your account hacked.

I wonder, how many is the maximum allowed number of characters for password?

It's not hacking. You are talking about these quiz guys who are trying all day long to answer one question - "What is that guy's password?" Hacking is more complicated and effective than that.

thank god you warned me, i was about to change all my passwords to "password"

Is there still nothing we can do (as a 'communitee' of course) to shut your trap? :doh:

Thanks for whoring for attention again, bro'ski. Now get the hell out of here.

For a gamepassword...i use this website:

http://www.passwordgenerator.eu/

the codes change on every refresh, and unless your already infected with a keylogger, perfectly safe (as you only really use a gamepassword once).
