password corruption

[Yupa]

I tried to enter an SSI zone (SSI RDF>Robotech!) and it gave me the 'invalid password' popup, but I hadn't touched my profiles in a long time.

 

I checked my profile passwords and sure enough, all the ones I have used recently on SSI had corrupted passwords - I'm !@#$%^&*uming they are corrupted, in fact all the profiles effected now had passwords longer than the correct passwords.

 

I copied the profiles, changed the passwords to the ones I remember and they worked fine.

 

Looked in profile.dat to compare the encrypted passwords...but it looks like that's not stored there anymore (it was before, wasn't it?)

 

Using .39pr1 - I've spoken to someone else that has experienced this same occurrence using .38 - also happened with SSI profiles

 

both of us have different profiles and passwords for SSC and SSI

So now I'm writing out a list irl of my passwords because while they are easily remember now, I have forgotten passwords before - and since they could be corrupted...well, better safe than sorry.

Yea, I always write down most of my passwords too, especially since the stupid fact that .39 deletes them from the profiles and after it wiped out my registry passwords too (It stores them under each user's registry, but if different users use it... poof profiles no longer have a password !@#$%^&*ociated with them!... hmm in fact, this should be classified as a bug). (Now that's one of the most troublemaking security features I've seen)
