People used this trick so much in Runescape that passwords were actually censored.
I remember someone from Runescape posting here. I would love to know how that worked.
- wingerlang 10y agoMaybe look at the hash of pwd against what is written, if it match then remove it. Perhaps don't do it if it is a dictionary word, and/or look at context like. "@$gsdg2$1sF" is definitely a password, so hide it "horse" is dictionary so don't hide it "my password is horse" is dictionary but in a pwd context, so hide it. Maybe look at phrases beforehand, like "what is pwd" .. "horse". Actually I have no idea, seems like a hard but interesting problem. ---- Maybe they have password requirements (min chars/captials/numbers/special signs) that they can look at, that way they could easily identify all written passwords based on their regex and just hide it based on that. This would also remove all dictionary word passwords or context stuff I mentioned above. This seems like an easy solution, hopefully there are no contexts where e.g. "Red$#123!" would be a word that is used apart from in a password one.
