Corpse Run 1,048: Your password is “incorrect”
Surely someone uses this for their password, no?
Quick password story:
One of the jobs I had at camp was being the tech guy and part of that role was managing the A/V computer for the sound system in the gym. There was a password on this computer but it was super simple: pressing the spacebar four times. One of the other counselors was like, I bet I can guess the password and me and one of the other tech guys were like, nah bro you won’t, it’s not what you’d think.
This dude literally hits the spacebar three times, pauses for thought, hits it a fourth time and then hits enter, granting him access.
Now, I’m sure he didn’t guess it and tried to pretend he didn’t already know what it was, but for that one quick moment we were both like what.
According to Have I Been Pwned: Pwned Passwords, yes, “incorrect” has been seen 19,874 times in the data breaches infosec researcher Troy Hunt has gathered so far.
Please don’t use it as a password, folks. Duh.
