This is fine.
@dgar This must be fake... Please say, this is fake! Of course, it must be with this user name :P
@lettosprey I can neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of this image, only that I find it humorous. πŸ˜„
@lettosprey @dgar In this timeline, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was real. But I do hope not.

@orangelantern @dgar @lettosprey It could well be the result of "vibe coding".

"Make the error dialog more informative".

@tml @orangelantern @dgar @lettosprey Quite 🀣😹
All we password makers want to know if we can use the damn password or not… but if ya wanna see someone else’s emails then that’s exactly what you want to see 😹 lol
Can we please all agree that this is messed up and probably has a portion of reality to it?!🀣😹

@dgar If you're looking for a new password I have a couple spare, you can have this one if you want: nds*eT5p$G

I've made sure it's super secure and unused.

@StarkRG
Please delete this post. This is my Mastodon password and I don't want it in the wild.
@dgar
@cafeinux @dgar How did you get it? I kept it in a shoebox under my bed.
@StarkRG
Found it in in a shoebox in the street, maybe it fell off of under your bed one time when you were not looking?
@dgar
@dgar what the what
Please tell me this is just a joke and not real
@dgar BBSs used to do this. Nice to see that code can be reused even decades later.
@dgar you're f###ing kidding! Is this real?
@dgar Considering websites can (and should) check exposed passwords using the Pwned Passwords database, one could easily make it return "This password is also used by 3 other users and our rules don't allow it to be reused further than that." or something like that.
@dgar
I had a team lead unironically propose "user names don't need to be unique as long as the passwords are different", and he argued for it until I proposed the error message "Cannot change password, that username/password combination is already in use".
@dgar
This has to be a fake.
@himmelssohn @dgar "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not yet completely sure about the universe." (attributed to Einstein)
@dgar I once took over a project which had a "password must be unique" configuration (it didn't show which user it was though). One of the first things I replaced in it.
@dgar whatever your password is in this example - I suggest that you never give it up.
@cjust @dgar we could try asking rick.roll247 but he might let us down. He could just turn around and desert us.
@dgar dafuq?! please tell me this isn't real... O.o
@dgar Ummmmmmmmmmmmm
@dgar Oh, that is *glorious*. I admit to being tempted to implement that myself for a project I'm working on.
@dgar usually I would say this is fake, but with vibe coding and all…
@dgar I think... I think that just gave me cancer
@dgar I'm [email protected] and I've claimed the password "password” to prevent others from continuing to use it
@dgar NeverGonnaGiveYouUp
@dgar and when they try to log in with that username and password, they get redirected to rick astley on youtube.
@dgar try using "Louvre"

@dgar @briankrebs

Once upon a time, once upon a time, I worked for an org that had this same issue, except w/out the helpful error message. (Guess how we stored our passwords?)

(istg, it wasn't me.)

@dgar 🀣 🀣 🀣
@dgar
Amazing, that's the e-mail account for my luggage!
@dgar The worst part? Rick's cool; he would have no problem with sharing the password. Why they gotta make him out to be selfish like this?
@dgar @briankrebs that can't be true... Please... 😭
@dgar Damn you, Dgar! It has been ages since I was Rickrolled πŸ™‰πŸ™ˆ
@dgar It seems very helpful. I don't see a problem with this.
@dgar would be funny if you try to log in with the e-mail and password provided and you get rick rolled, and find out it's a prank they play on people with very weak or common passwords.
@fabiosantoscode @dgar I'm reeeeeally hoping this is the plan! πŸ˜
