:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: They included zezima in there easy to guess list

 

 

 

How do you know? Is there a list, or was that your password :o

 

 

 

maybe he tried to chance his pass into that :|

hah mine had to be changed lol 123321

 

And this is why updates like this are made.

 

 

 

noone would have guessed mine out of millions of accounts would have been this.

Everyone talking about brute force.... there's no need for a script or anything besides your brain with those 500 passwords that they blocked.

With the amount of complaining about people getting hacked and blahdy blah, I can't believe they haven't implemented this sooner. Most people get hacked because they're stupid. Use a password that's not so easy to guess. :wall:

Letmein, lol.

Letmein, lol.

How's this one: LetNein.

Let's all complain about a little update that only has good intentions and a positive impact.. Yeah.

Well I have been hacked before because my password was WAIT FOR IT....gunit

 

lol

 

Well now its alotttt more complicated with alot more numbers and letters combined and even if someone hacks me I have another password thats easy for me to remember that will also be impossible to gues :P

 

But I haven't been hacked since Like two months after I started my account ftw

You should of course keep this in a very safe place, like giving it to your parents or guardian for safekeeping.

 

 

 

 

You are now playing KidScape. Enjoy being wrapped in cottonwool while we feed you hot milk. :wall:

 

 

 

Roll on Mechscape.

waste of jagex's time imo, if people are stupid enough to put these weak passwords they deserve to be hacked, i dont like it when jagex "babies" its members -.-

Let's all complain about a little update that only has good intentions and a positive impact.. Yeah.

 

 

 

I know, this is ridiculous. Every time there is an update of ANY kind, people feel obligated to complain. If your password is already good, then don't sweat it. But it did help the idiots with dumb ones. And it's not a waste of time because it literally takes about 2 hours to do. And remember people, if you are under 18, you yourself are a kid, so quit [bleep]ing about it being for kids just because you are a loud and proud 13/14 year old that thinks you're all that because you are a big boy 8th/9th grader.

I'd imagine the main target of it is people who play together in a group at school.

 

 

 

For instance, I guessed tonnes of my friends passwords at school to get onto their file system, because it was their favourite football team, computer game etc.

 

 

 

My password got banned, surprisingly, considering it was quite a strange reference that I'd imagine no one could guess. But maybe if you knew me really well in real life you could guess it.

Ever seen the RSOF? Your general Runescape player seems pretty stupid.

 

 

 

This will definately have a positive impact.

 

 

 

For me, my password is 19 characters long, but is actually a sentence :thumbsup:

While I think the latter option - letting players experience firsthand just how secure "password" is, then getting hacked - is a far better teaching tool, this isn't such a bad update. It's a wake-up call to the people that keep their accounts insecure - Jagex can only put so many locks on your account before they finally chalk it up to the poor, dumb user.

 

 

 

Seriously now. Figure out a password that's strong and secure, and not something super-flimsy. This is a practice that I've been doing for ages.

 

 

 

[NOTE] To everyone posting hints about their password: KNOCK IT OFF, DAMMIT.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but MechScape is still being made by the same company that's allegedly wrapping you in "cottonwool", right? Grow up.

My rs password is completely impossible to hack almsot. It is maxed out in length (I can remember all 24/25 digits).

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder if any english,german, or spanish curse words are blocked .....

I learnt my lesson after getting hacked! One of my RL friends hacked me, guessed my pass which was..... Chaztheman !! :evil: How did they guess??

 

 

 

Either way, I was only small, about level 40, and they completely emptied my bank! I had no idea how to get back all the essentials I lost, luckily that was before the Miniclip era, so I could safely ask for help to recover my property!.... ahh those were the days...

 

 

 

Back on topic: Good update I suppose, common sense really though and I dont really like the feeling you cant have the pass you want to have....

If you don't want to be hacked, but you want your password to be "legend456", then you've got some conflicting goals. The idea here is to promote better Internet security.

So, I'm not sure how well this will work...

 

I've been hacked with a password that was 3 numbers(not random-ish), 3 letters(random), 1 number(random)

 

I didn't have a keylogger, or anything else. Apparently, this emo-wannabee-kid-who-hates-every-one-and-thinks-he's-cool hacked me by using jagex's site that has all passes stored...

 

He threatened me that I would be hacked if I didn't buy him pizza, and I didn't.

 

That night, I logged to find all my items gone. About killed him the next day.

 

And, no. I never, ever said my password. Ever.

Propably used your recovs to get the password. Or guessed it. Also, there isn't a site where the passwords are stored, it's in a SQL or something similar database most likely and someone who wants pizza for not hacking you wouldn't know how to crack it. If he did, we all would've been hacked long time ago by someone smarter.

 

 

 

I think this is long overdue, long long time overdue. Good thing but a little late.

 

 

 

I think my passes should be all safe, all are over 15 characters long and mix of numbers and letters, bruteforcing it would take quite some time but you never know.

Wowww. a 7 letter password. Your epic.

 

 

 

Mines 18 letters/numbers.

 

Make it longer, and stop whining.

 

And there is no site that Jagex uses to store passwords. Its called a database. The database is hidden probably on a backend, and you would need an IP address, an open port, AND a login to get into. My guess is that this database has some 25 character usename AND password, to be sure that no script kiddies get into it. This is most likely all sitting behind many layers of industrial firewall. This kid just fed you a load of crap and you ate it all up.

Its people like you that they would implement a censor on passwords for these...

Its not usless, it just turns that chance you are going to get guessed down even more. even if theres not a major threat in the first place , there is always a chance someone can guess a password, as a small as it might be.

 

 

 

 

 

better safe than sorry :|

Hehe, this is like Jagex telling half of Runescape players that they're [developmentally delayed]. Sort of. That's how I interpreted it. :P

 

over half of runescape is [developmentally delayed].

I remember some 10 year old posting on RSOF bragging about how he hacked his bro, who used his gf's name as his password. I've also heard that some hackers just try random girl's names. So I imagine at least a few girl's names are on the list.

I do agree with a lot of the comments being said, a friend of mine had a password which was "hacked", quite ironic actually.

 

It would be very difficult in guessing someone's password, but I guess there's been an odd occasion which has occurred.

 

 

 

As someone mentioned - it's their fault if they have such a pathetic/easily guessed password. :wall:

It says to keep your password in a save place. Such as with a parent or guardian. When I read the latter, I imagined a thirty something, balding, man with thick glasses sitting in his basement reading this. He then shouts "Ma! I need you to keep my Runescape password safe!" "Of course, sweety." she replies "How many fish sticks do you want for supper? Four or five?"

Seems extremely pointless to me. People don't guess other peoples passwords, they get it by means of a key logger or getting the person to trust them and telling the password.

 

 

 

I second that

 

 

 

And screen scrapers to get their PIN numbers, but I think those are less common.
