IMPORTANT NOTICE - CNCLABS PASSWORD HIGH SECURITY RISK

CNCLABS does NOT have a SSL certificate (http connection), which means that any information shared between the clients and cnclabs can be easily stolen by network sniffers. Recently I was hacked in a couple of services due to having the same password in those services as in here.
DO NOT USE THE SAME PASSWORD.
For the cnclabs staff (if they worry at all): You can easily set up a free SSL certificate by using cloudflare's nameservers, I can help you do that if you need help. |

2 things here,
First: Everyone should always use a unique password for every service they use. it doesn't matter how secure the site is, use a unique password.
Second: The only person I know has access to the site management, to the level of SSL certificates and DNS settings, comes here so rarely they probably won't see this post. I'll reach out but I don't know if/when I'll get a response.

Let's be honest , Can we actually set a unique password for every last account we have in any service ? I really doubt so (This is why I usually refuse to go to sites that require you to login with an account) I once tried doing so by the way and I lost lots of keys in my mind XD Just resulted me to go for "Lost Password" option and had me changing them for hours (And yeah I did have a piece of paper for that which I lost) Anyways, I now have my Info much more classified (My classification was only a matter of my name earlier but now it's personal) Edited by user Wednesday, April 17, 2019 4:11:03 AM(UTC)

I found a solution, I have about 20 different passwords, and to remember them all I created a system. I invented a code, where I assign each letter a word, or a combination of numbers, for example:
a = 123 c = cnclabs g = generals
then I have a list with all my passwords like:
cnclabs: aggc gmail: cgaa discord: cccaag
This is really simple, and you can complicate passwords a lot, all you need to remember is what word or combination of letters/numbers corresponds to what letter/number.

This is basically how I remember most of the things I have memorized (mostly studying). Although my friends didn't want to risk doing the same when I advised them, I memorized 57 different medicines with their active groups in 10 minutes after making a code like this. I will now use it for passwords, too. Thanks for this creative idea! |

Thanks for highlighting the concern. C&C Labs does actually already support HTTPS connections. You can browse C&C Labs over a secure connection at: https://www.cnclabs.com/At some point in the future, we will be changing the site to use HTTPS by default to improve the security for all users. |
