New Security feature at PROHASHING!

Post by Sarah Manter » Tue Mar 22, 2022 11:51 am

We are now checking current and future PROHASHING passwords against a database of passwords that have been involved in data leaks elsewhere. Current members are strongly encouraged to change their passwords if they receive a notification that theirs has been compromised, and new members will be asked to chose a new, more secure, one before creating an account if the password they are trying to use matches one on the list of passwords that have been leaked somewhere else. If you change your password from now on, it will also be checked against the database, and if the new one was ever involved in a data breach elsewhere on the internet, you will be asked to choose a more secure password.

Is there any chance you will ever implement the use of a hardware authentication device like a yubikey?

Maybe someday. Honestly we'd have to look into it more.
