I think it's hilarious that uplay passwords have a MAXIMUM length given the huge security fuckup they just did.

Just about every password has a maximum length, they just made theirs stupidly small.

after reading a bit about how quickly a gpu farm can brute force / dictionary attack, the longer the better

I would be changing my password, except I haven't done any business with Ubisoft in many years and have absolutely no account of any kind with them. At some level individuals do need to take some degree of responsibility in avoiding businesses that have proven themselves incompetent or downright hostile towards their customers.

Hostile yes. Previously proven incompetent I'm not so sure. I don't recall any other security breaches, but then there were so many floating around. It was just their inability to cope with server load that pissed everyone off.

yeah but try to find a site that lets you have the entire published works of Lovecraft as a password.

In your opinion. The vast majority disagree with you. You shouldn't feel superior over them, or laugh when they suffer harm or aggravation.

And why is something inherently correct just because a majority "agrees" to it or simply doesn't care? Ignorance is no excuse, if those people use DRM and suffer as a result, it's their own fault.

Maybe they will give for free an Altair skin for Assassin's Creed game to apologize.





























XD

I didn't say the majority make it correct, I said it's a different opinion from yours that a lot of people have. That you think they deserve suffering because of that is truly demented.

You could always use google docs to store the password, and use Terry Pratchet's works as google's password.

You have crossed the streams. Never cross the streams! Bad things happen.

People have suffered from subscribing to an online service. This service happened to be associated (but not exclusively) DRM, it could just as easily be a cookery site. The point is that a trusted service was hacked, not that DRM was hacked.

As it happens it's true that many people wouldn't have subscribed were it not for DRM, however when you've bought the game (as I had with AC2) it's kind of hard to do anything else, I could have fought for a refund but it would be hard.

i am glad i stopped using the same passwords on all my website logins.

Yeah, good luck with obscure slovenian folktale words.
