Thanks for keeping us all informed Omni. I have taken the steps to reset mine.
A quick question tho, what will happen to those who are away/vacating? Will they still be able to remain secure? (excluding locked/banned accounts as they have been locked after applying for vacation)
Thanks again Omni,
T~

No troll i'm about to hash my password :/ Is it smart to hash your original password than use your hash as a password?

When can we remove the announcement? It's annoying. Can we click it away like a PM?

What you're saying is (if I'm thinking this through correctly) is similar to a salt. You'd just be hashing a hash (nothing wrong with that). Sure, it would be more secure. If you don't understand how salts work, here's an example of one scenario:
salt: *&^
dog --> 06d80eb0c50b49a509b49f2424e8c805
plus salt: 06d80eb0c50b49a509b49f2424e8c805*&^ --> 88516b43fa9acc936a5d601d9f875216
And... there's our new encrypted hash. But, what you said is a somewhat similar idea. I hope that this helps.
Cheers!
