“However, ZERO home computer users have classified material from the State Department on their home computer.’

Many home computers are also turned off when not in use making it impossible to hack them from the other end

All the great Secretaries of State of the past did not use passwords--Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, John Hay, Frank Kellogg, Cordell Hull, George C. Marshall, John Foster Dulles, Henry Kissinger...

Why should Hillary be subjected to a rule about passwords when they weren't? Sounds like sexism to me...

IIRC, early on when the email situation was just beginning to leak, Clinton said she didn’t want to have a private and a State Department email account because she didn’t want to have to carry 2 smartphones all the time.

This is like Benghazi — she has told so many lies and made so many different excuses that she doesn’t even know what she has said. Of course, that is intentional because it helps obfuscate the issue.

[Ask me no questions; I will tell you no lies.]

Hillary thinks she is being clever because BJ was such an expert at nuances and parsing. She isn’t.

What, she couldn’t even be bothered to type in “Pantsuit” ?

I never had passwords on my first two computers, just my third, an imac. I always had to have a password to access my email. And after the first account, I always had to configure my own email settings (with some help from isp walkthroughs).

Gmail has been a trip. I got it set up with help files, just click on the damn stamp on the dock. Then I decided I wanted to access my isp email account and combine with my gmail email, went for years accessing it on the web and not being able to download. Then I got sick of that one day and googled and found a walk through.

It's all set up the way I wanted, but I sure have to enter my password a lot if I get logged out. Anyway, the only thing I don't like is I haven't been able to figure out how to archive anything. And I download my isp emails (it shows me which are which) and chose leave them on the server also for backup. And a couple more points I shouldn't bother people with. It works.

I have too many passwords for so many different accounts now I forget them and am locked out until I find them or change them. I never record them on my computer though except when I have to type them when I sign in somewhere.

Hillary is totally inflexible and unable to adapt, not a good trait for a POTUS.

And in spite of spilling a lot of beans, I got a feeling this Lukens guy wasn't totally truthful to protect Hillary and her staff and probably his own skin. He knew things he said he didn't.

It’s not stupidity, it’s arrogance. Hillary Clinton lives in Hillaryworld. In Hillaryworld other people get paid to take care of security and passwords. She doesn’t have time for “all that s-.”

I think this article has a much better, more accurate, report on this subject

It is a good article, in that it shows that Hillary's understanding of computers is less than that of the average fifth grader. That level of ignorance is definitely a security risk, whether or not she uses passwords.

Passwords are for little people

So are jail sentences.

So.

Perhaps a sensor built into her chair? The width of her ass, perhaps?

Except for Guccifer and the SVR and who knows who else.

If he set it up for no password I’m guessing he used something like an rsa keypair. That would mean only computers or devices that had the private key could bypass passwords to get on servers which were set up to honor them with the public key. At least that would be a common solution in civilian circumstances.

Not really, subject to dictionary attack.

Her password's nine proper nouns long.

An attacker would have to guess that she had a penchant for such a password form and then deploy his proper noun dictionary against her, hoping all of her words were in his dictionary.

And that assumes an offline attack, where the attacker can brute-force at GPU speeds.

In a more realistic scenario, her server would impose increasing time penalties for incorrect guesses, thus rendering his attack hopeless immediately, even if he knew the form of her password, which, of course, he doesn't.

Not really, subject to dictionary attack.

Words run-on like that are generally not found in dictionary attacks, because a dictionary attack will not know when a word has been found. There are no natural boundaries in that run-on list of character names. It's the same reason some password experts are now recommending run-on nonsense phrases which include proper names as the best most unbreakable passwords.

on the other hand, by having no secure access to her Outlook, her minions had access to her Outlook account and so did Bubba

you could have access to my account if you were given the ID and pass word

Even the garbage man with a government email account has a password. This lady has to be one of the stupidest people on earth. Not to mention Trump coined low energy Jeb, but Clinton’s campaign speeches are drab and stiff, and without charisma, just like Jeb. She’s done. The majority will not elect someone this stupid.
