Hi [KBH]TAZZER:DS,

We have posted a forum announcement due to someone attempting to guess passwords
to user accounts and gaining access. This is due to some users using very basic
passwords that are easy to crack.

Because of this we have required all users reset their passwords on the forums
before using their account again. We recommend that if you use the same password
for your STEAM account you change that too ASAP.

Please read this announcement for further details.

And also please read this page for help on choosing a new password.

I'll have what he's having

honestly what do you think?

apparently someone has been logging in as other users at halflife 2 .nets forums by guessing the password, they are just asking their forum members to change their passwords and make them secure rather than easy. Nothing to worry about, and furthermore I would never use my steam password for anything other than steam, nor enter it anywhere but steam.

a guide on how to make strong password? lmfao

use full sentences like:

iate5applepiesitwasdelicious

Or theres always the always awesome 1337ified word.

Like...
S(arLe7

Spaces will be even less expected usually.

Username: John
Password: 123456
*try again*
Password: asdasd
*try again*
Password: asdasd123
Welcome back, John!

simple do not use passwords like:

password
god
abc123
123abc
sex


you get the point....
