- bornhuetter 13y agoI was wondering recently if someone had ever done this. Do you have any examples/links?
- sesqu 13y agoTDWTF has several anecdotes. Try this, for one: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Uniquely_Secure.aspx http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Uniquely_Secure.aspx
- bornhuetter 13y agoThanks, that's hilarious. I can see someone thinking that unique passwords are a way to make sure that people aren't overusing common passwords - and not realizing that you are implicitly letting everyone know what passwords are currently in use.
- jessejmc 13y agoGuild Wars 2 is like this. I was trying to use the same password for two accounts and received “Unavailable password. You or someone else has used it before."
