I've used this for years to make passwords:

Case sensitivity, length, and charset are all easy to change. Why not just do something like that? A 12 character alpha-numeric code?

I also use this to generate passwords

http://keepass.com/

Question, to see if I'm understanding this correctly - servers will link to this forum for player logins. Will ALL the games on the servers be linked or will the sysop have the ability to keep some open to general public while others will be closed games to forum members only?

I know, I may be getting ahead of the conversation.

The point wasn't to have a program that generates passwords, cruncher. The point was to look at different types of alpha-numeric strings.

And only a small number of games would be locked like this.

The forum doesn't need to know anything about the server. It's a simple database lookup on the server ID and username to see if the validation record exist.


I must be missing something. What prevents me from claiming to be someone else?

You're saying generate the same code between TWGS and the forum? How would that be secured?



Your not alone Sing, php has way to many holes to be secure for this purpose. Possibly export a list from the forums to a secure authentication server that twgs uses in a secure mode (no sysop can access)nor does it store the list on the twgs side. The list exported doesn't contain passwords just user name and last IP the user logged into the forum with. Its a great idea but needs to well planned and implemented securly so thier is no possible abuse of it. Jumpgate authentication server maybee?
The other problem is will a user who doesnt have a forum account be able to play with out it.
