I typed gibberish username/password into HN and successfully logged in
This account was apparently created in 2012. Just thought it was pretty crazy that I typed in random gibberish and happened to land on a valid account. What are the odds?
I was trying to enter invalid credentials so that I might see what error HN provided.
It's funny... It seems like every line of code I'm writing right now after a long day is causing errors. If I can't even unsuccessfully log into a website on purpose, then it really is time for a break.
If I've hijacked an account for someone who actually uses this, I apologize. Logging out now.
- sadfasdf 6y agoI wonder how many people tried the same and succeeded. :thinking:

- TechBro8615 6y agoAmusing. Although it’s probably not as gibberish as you’d think. I would bet people tend to type very similar strings of letters when mashing the keyboard.

- kleer001 6y agoTry it again with randomly created usernames and password. I'll guarantee you'll come up dry every time.
