My old password was in the password file, and it was flagged as cracked. If you're a Windows user and you want to check if your password is in the file. (1) download the passwords file from http://www.mediafire.com/?n307hutksjstow3 (2) the download is a RAR file, so you'll need to have WinRAR installed to extract it. (3) to get the sha1 version of your password, go to duckduckgo.com and type: sha1 yourpassword (4) copy the result, except for the first 6 or so characters (5) open a DOS command prompt (WindowsKey+R and type CMD) (6) type (quotes required where indicated): find "sha1hash" sha1.txt (note: to paste to the command prompt is right-click) Example: The sha1 hash of the password 'password' is: 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 Remove first six characters: e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 enter at command prompt: find "e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8" sha1.txt result: ---------- SHA1.TXT 000001e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
