Greetings, I am trying to debug a login script. So I decided to use var_ dump to print out the password. But for some reason say If I type in 'BOSTON' rather then printing 'BOSTON' it prints out six dashes, 1 dash for each character. I haven't encountered it like this before. I'm sure i'm missing something. I tried ob_ start() var_ dump...
Swing's JPasswordField has the getPassword() method that returns a char array. My understanding of this is that the array can be zeroed immediately after use so that you do not have sensitive things hanging around in memory for long. The old way to retrieve the password was to use getText(), which returns a String object, but it has been...

First, my question is not about password hashing, but password encryption. I'm building a desktop application that needs to authentificate the user to a third party service. To speed up the login process, I want to give the user the option to save his credentials. Since I need the password to authentificate him to the service, it can't b...
Trying to write a Java program capable of running a UNIX command as a different UNIX user. I have the user's password, and I know the command I want to run, but the command has to be run as that user - so I have to login as that user first. For example: say we have a user, jim, who wants to see what's in bob's home directory, and (for w...

This is something that's been bugging me for many years: why most online services highly value the entropy of a password, citing it as a security measure, and enforcing it when users select a password? I decided to come out with this question after reading the paper "Do Strong Web Passwords Accomplish Anything?" (and, of course, classic...

From Jacob Nielson's "Stop Password Masking": Usability suffers when users type in passwords and the only feedback they get is a row of bullets. Typically, masking passwords doesn't even increase security, but it does cost you business due to login failures. What do you guys think? ...
So, I've been playing with asp:PasswordRecovery and discovered I really don't like it, for several reasons: 1) Alice's password can be reset even without having access to Alice's email. A security question for password resets mitigates this, but does not really satisfy me. 2) Alice's new password is sent back to her in cleartext. I w...
I want to store answers to password reset questions in LDAP. I know that the answers should be hashed with a salt. I would like insight into the following: What attributeClass should we use?
