Re: Support Multi-Word Passwords

Because unique fields forces the user to enter a phrase, one field simply allows it. With one field, you can't force an entire forum to follow.

Re: Support Multi-Word Passwords

Well, the basic idea behind pass phrases are that they're just as hard to crack via brute force, but much easier to remember for people. Remembering "$php33foru*mp@a$$" is much harder than "phpbb forum awesome blossom".

Re: Support Multi-Word Passwords

I suppose I feel it is more intuitive.

When the user registers, they'll be prompted for a "pass phrase." How do they know to enter a space? How do you validate they didn't run a word together they meant to keep separate? To me, the easiest and most intuitive solution is to have 4 input boxes under ...

Support Multi-Word Passwords

I think phpbb should move to support multi-word passwords. A simple shift would make it exponentially harder for passwords to be compromised. Even the best passwords ($dfk289@*1%) aren't anywhere near as strong as a multi-word password (blue funny dog barks). Even better would be a password + multi ...

Re: Question regarding templates.

I run my site on a dedicated server.

I have many databases, all of them are seperate but still all in the same phpmyadmin.

I am not sure if my host would run a repair on the tables, if they would even know how to do so.

What do you need to know to take a look at it? phpmyadmin username and ...

Re: Question regarding templates.

SQL-query&#58
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS phpbb_sessions;# MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows).
CREATE TABLE phpbb_sessions(
session_id varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL default '',
