    I use a password manager…. Generate a random string at 36 characters and then back off to whatever they’ll accept.

    The number of idiots forcing less than 24 characters for things like that’s… way too damn high. (Probably preaching to the choir here but there was an issue with windows screwing with the encryption or something “requiring” 24 instead of 12.)

      Sometimes banks ask me my answer to security questions. This ever happen to you?

        You… go into a bank?

        For what?!

        I could always show them my id or something. You know, the same one I showed to get the account.
