Have you lost or forgotten your password?

Just a note for people who may need this information in future and via searches..

If you forget your password, you can click on the 'Forgotten Your Password' link on any page that requires you to fill in your password.

This will bring up a page where you should enter your registered email address, and an email will be sent to that address instantly, with instructions for resetting your password.

Remember to ensure your email address in your profile is up to date and valid.

I’ve had to avail myself of this very useful function on other websites where I am an infrequent visitor when upon returning, I have forgotten my password. I never let Windows remember my passwords.

However, on Ice In Space, I’m here far too often to forget!

Cheers

Dennis

Okay Leon, that’s good, very good indeed, but I reckon I can go one better….

My passwords are generally 26 characters long, comprising letters, numbers, upper case, lower case, special characters, invisible ink and feather weight keystrokes.

I then take that password and jumble it through an Enigma machine as an XOR operation with a constant value k, of each byte of plaintext b, to produce a Cipher value c, before encrypting the output using an Advanced Encryption Standard 256 bit algorithm. After that, I read it in a mirror, backwards, and miss every 2nd character substituting for those with a letter from an ancient alphabet which has not yet been discovered or translated.

Finally, I write it on a piece of paper, commit it to memory then swallow the paper.

Cheers

Dennis

I never remember my password, probably because I'm logged in all the time so never need to use it.
This is fine until I'm at another site and want to log in.

Another number that I find hard to remember is our home ‘phone number – I dial it so rarely. Before anyone asks, we don’t have a mobile between us so I cannot save it to memory to recall it.

Cheers

That is a good encrypted pass word.
You forgot to add this little bit however.

Ah yes – I forgot to mention that minor drawback of my system!
