Could only have done it with a DNA Profile.

[jon]

Been searching sixty odd years, looking for details of my birth and I finally got it completed, but only with the aid of DNA matching. I now have 700,000 lines of raw DNA data. It would make a good password.

You want to get hacked by someone stealing a syringeful of your blood?

[Chris Hogg]

But imagine typing it in whenever you need it!

[Smolley]

Copy and paste

[Brian Gaff (Sofa]

Ah but if they cracked it then you would be really in trouble. grin. Brian

[Tim Streater]

You mean they could clone him?

[Tim+]

Only if it?s mixed case and incorporates some special characters. ;-)

Tim

[Vir Campestris]

DNA has only four characters. The complexity is down to the number of them...

Andy

[Tim+]

Yeah, but my point is many website insist on mixed case and special characters. Just being a very long password isn?t good enough.

Tim

[jon]

Convert it to hex.

[Tim+]

And how would that convert any of it to @#£&? etc?

Tim

[jon]

Easy just tag a special character on if needed.

[Pamela]

What will you do with that data?

Gordon's Pizza

CALLER: Is this Gordon's Pizza? GOOGLE: No Sir, it's Google Pizza. CALLER: I must have dialed a wrong number. Sorry. GOOGLE: No Sir, Google bought Gordon's Pizza last month. CALLER: OK. I would like to order a pizza. GOOGLE : Do you want your usual, Sir? CALLER: My usual? You know me? GOOGLE: According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust. CALLER: OK! That's what I want! GOOGLE: May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust? CALLER: What? I hate vegetables! GOOGLE: Your cholesterol is not good, Sir. CALLER: How the hell do you know ??? GOOGLE: Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years. CALLER: Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetable pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol. GOOGLE :Excuse me Sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you only purchased a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Drug RX Network, 4 months ago. CALLER: I bought more from another drugstore. GOOGLE: That doesn't show on your credit card statement. CALLER: I paid in cash. GOOGLE : But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement. CALLER: I have other sources of cash. GOOGLE :That doesn't show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law. CALLER: WHAT THE HELL!!! GOOGLE: I'm sorry, Sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you. CALLER: Enough already! I'm sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I'm going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me. GOOGLE: I understand Sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago.

------ During a recent password audit by a company, it was found that an employee was using the following password:

"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"

When asked why she had such a long password, she rolled her eyes and said: "Hello! It has to be at least 8 characters and include at least one capital.

[Tim+]

<sigh> Which just goes to show that a DNA sequence, on its own, wouldn?t make it a acceptable password for most websites.

Tim

[jon]

Nor would Pi to a million decimal places.

I was adopted, so been busy finding distant and close relations.
