fucking hate google.
I had to change my Google password, because blogger wouldn't sign in unless I provided the password I registered for an entire different service with. Apparently, my ULTRA AWESOME SECURE password was not secure enough for Google. Excuse me, but I think that Google needs to appreciate that password strength is not just in the characters. IT DOESN'T MATTER how long my password is. People brute forcing the password are not going to KNOW it's only X characters long, so it's going to take the same ammount of THEORETICAL time to crack. Most likely, a lot more than one would ordinarilly be happy to spend cracking an E-mail address, which, I will tell you for free, recieves nothing on a regular basis but the Gamespot Daily Newsletter. The most important thing is that no-one can sit down, type in my email and then go:
"Well, she likes final fantasy.... maybe her password is 'sephiroth'. Okay, maybe it's 'Sephiroth'. Great, now I can read her e-mails. OMFG, Crisis Core is no longer in the top ten GS games? It's not even OUT IN ENGLAND! This is ridiculous! The bastards! What are these ratings even based on?"
No, Sephiroth is not my password for ANYTHING. Don't even try.
Additionally, I find the password reset question comic. Anyone who knows where I was born, the name of my cat, or my mother's maiden name is apparently deserving of access to my "private" email. My password reset question is custom: Which of my Labia minora hangs lowest?" and don't try left or right. They have names. I'm kidding. But still, that's fairly secure.
Thankyou, Google. I will decide how important the privacy of the e-mail in my account is in relation to the amount of effort I am willing to expel typing it. None. My password is ilikefishes. It's memorable. Fucking hell, please don't hack the account, I'll have to /redirect my newsletters/.
Kidding, my blog's secured against the same password (Google, such awesome security: use the same password for two unrelated services, save hackers some time!).
