When I went to change it, I get this message:
Now, if they lost my password in this DB mess, how would the system know that I used that password before? Its lost, remember? So once again, ePassporte has blown smoke up my ass. Someone ain't tellin the truth.
What really happened, ePassporte? I cant wait to hear the explanation here. |
I have a very possible explanation.
When you create a new password, it is added to a separate database. As you add new passwords, they get added to this separate database. The database that got scrambled was a completely different database. Now you're going to ask "why wouldn't they just retrieve the password from the storage database?" That would be a huge security risk on your behalf.
