Note on passwords

Avoid using passwords for the PEG judge that are the same as passwords for other accounts (ideally you should never use the same password for more than one account, but I myself break this rule all the time), because a satisfactory security assessment has not been carried out (so if a hacker gains unauthorized access, say, by SQL injection, he could crack your passwords).

Edit: OK fine, never mind.

Alright, fine :P
The password hashes should now be unbreakable - however, the passwords have all been cleared.
Please reset your password through the "Forgot Password" feature.

Its very annoying...
Had to try so many times in order for judge to send verification code and password...

Sorry, I didn't realize that it was broken - I fixed it while you were trying it.

Thanks for the heads up. Done change.

I didn't manage to crack your password, but I did find the hash on Google, meaning that it wasn't unique... hope you changed it to something better :)

Hash? Okay, will change to something better. What about google hashing?
