"this is a common password."
@shlee i have to imagine they're screening for "telstra" because too many people put the service's name in the password
@fingerless @shlee Most likely. A lot of sites will bar you from using their name in your password in order to avoid people just doing stuff like "my amazon password is amazon!". This is...not the best language to present that though :P.
@Binks @shlee idk if it's applicable to present cryptography, but i remember that when they were cracking the enigma machine they found they could brute force the codes much faster if they assumed that certain parts were going to be in the end result, like how they ended all their messages with heil hitler or how their early morning messages would have a weather report. that's all i can think of though.
