[REQUEST] Smaller Password by Fuse on 12-18-2006 at 06:10 PM

EXAMPLE:

password at home: 123
________
?

I believe that it may be possible to do this in a script, but it would be very insecure, as both the full and short password must be stored. Perhaps asking messenger to remember the password may be the better solution.

Actually thats not true.
It's stored on your pc in (now) an encrypted file and if say you want wlm to save it it will go in that file.

I think he meant a different, shorter password for home use, while keeping the longer password for other machines.

It could be done with a proxy but like everyone is saying not very secure.

You could use Short Keys and make it so when you type 123 it replaces it with helloilovemsgplus. However, someone could open the program and see it.

I'm not sure how to 'lock' messenger but I sent in my "rock paper scissors' script the functions to encrypt text with md5.. so if someone would do the locking for you just copy my code and encode the shorter password, save it into registry and have the script check if what you typed (after conversion to md5) equals what's stored in the registry.
Have fun!

then take that string out off the register and decode it with the short password and put the decode text as password in the password field?
