How can I keep my user id and password safe from psychics?

Question

Chipdeutsch, but wouldn't they strike precisely when I'm typing in my id and pw? Wouldn't a psychic know when I was about to think of something, and then steal it from my mind when I do?

Answer 1

Wear a tin foil helmet so they can't read your mind.

Better yet, wrap your entire body in tin foil. That way they can't read your digestive tract either.

Answer 2

This question is funny.  I gave you a star for your cleverness.

Answer 3

Interesting thought.

I'm usually revolted by the credulity on Alternative>Parapshycology (this stuff belongs in the Folklore and Mythology section)

But a keystroke logger stuck on someone's hard drive then retrieved would provide id and password.  Then delete it and pretend to be have psychic powers.

Or use that as your defense if you get caught hacking!

Very interesting thought indeed.

Answer 4

As long as you don't tell them they'll never know.There is no such thing as a psychic.They are all without exception phonies.

Answer 5

are u crazy y are u worrying about them y dont u worry bout hackers and people like that

Answer 6

You gotta be shittin' me.

Why don't you worry more about hackers?

Answer 7

They can only get the value from your mind, so think on another thing while you are with them, if you are not there, they cannot tell the computer to give them the password, so you are safe... but take care of the hackers because they don't need you to get your personal info from your computer!!!

Answer 8

Yes, psychic hacking seems to be a problem these days.

If you use a relatives names, they will probably only get the first letter, or a name that sounds similar, for some reason psychics and mediums have a tough time getting names exact.

Use a code word for your secret question. You know that security question where they ask you your mothers maiden name, or where you were born. This would be easy information for a psychic to get.

Most importantly use at least 8 letters and numbers, because most psychics cant see more than 3 or 4 letters at a time. Not being able to see the whole thing could be confusing to them.

Good luck. Remember, set psychic share values on your folders to off.

Answer 9

don't give it to them. ;)

Answer 10

Can the psychics really do that? Why not go to one and see what happens. If they guess it right, don't worry as soon as you log-in  change your password and always change your password before logging out,  even hackers  would not like that. If you are really keeping a lot of questionable things in your computer common sense and a bit of crazy idea will keep your password to yourself. Relax, enjoy being alive.

Answer 11

Your secret passwords are most available to those closest to you.

Hackers find them by logical choice libraries and lists. Brute forcing is only done using extensive lists of probable interests.

If these hackers do not have a clue to your interest, they have to choose the normal choices and hope you are in there.

This is what a fake psychic has to do also.

If there is such thing as a true psychic, then good luck.

Answer 12

same as you can keep it from anyone else-don't tell them. phsychics are just conmen out to make a buck. if there was really one true physic in the world why haven't they won the lottery a few times, and stopped muggings and bank robberies?

simple, because its a hoax.

Answer 13

pick a user id other than your name.  pick a password other than a family member's name, or what kind of car you have, or your birthdate, or anything else that someone could get off the internet.

Answer 14

Don't think about them, focus on something else like a brick wall, works for me.

Answer 15

if you are sincere and not just barking, let your computer chose your password for you.  there are some neat programs that make totally encrypted passwords and keep track of them.

oh, and don't forget to take your meds

Answer 16

Why would a real psychic want your user id and password for? They've got better things to deal with than to hunt for these details.

Anyway, if they really wanted them, nothing you can do will stop them... even blocking your mind won't stop them.

But they don't want your details. They've got no use for them. :-) So relax! Put your feet up and be sure that your details are safe from them. It's the sh*tbag hackers you got to be more worried about.
