Re: Password

Well, even if you could set it to less than six characters, I would not recommend it.
It's one of the fastest ways to be hacked.

Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

I'm asking around...but it sure sounds like a glitch to me.  I don't recommend actually setting your password to something shorter than 6 characters.

Re: Password

Yep! Thanks for pointing this out. And as others have said, more is better when it comes to the number of characters in your password.

Re: Password

I change my password every month for security reasons.
