Except they did give away your password

Although they neglected to tell the people that Twitter is the bug...

Yep. I saw the warning a few minutes ago and was wondering if everyone else was getting it.

I read some, rarely post. Why anyone follows me at all is a mystery.

I don’t trust Twitter about anything.
I suspect their motives on this one too.

That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.

Twitter’s passwords are masked through a process called hashtag that uses a function known as bcrypt. This means that the passwords are replaced with a random set of numbers and letters stored within Twitter’s system. What a journalistic tech-writing train wreck. This was written by some journo who has a half-baked understanding and she manages to mangle the explanation. The writer thinks password encryption involves "hashtag" when she means "hashing".
To: BenLurkin
Probably their older encryption kept them from selling the current password database, so requiring everyone changing it to store in the new database will make it easier to sell the access. /S

Change my password??? I can’t get onto twitter. It wouldn’t accept my password, so I tried changing it. It says it will send me a link, but doesn’t. So I tried setting up a new account. It won’t let me, saying that I am already signed up. I haven’t been able to get on for a long time.

Oka. I’ll change my password to “BUG”. Is that good enough?
