    There we go, been a while:

    No points for effort on this one: no mention of knowing my password, no "I sent this from your account so you know I really hacked you" from-spoofing, no handy-dandy idiot-proof instructions for how to *buy* Bitcoin, nothing. F-, see me after class.

    Say you're creating a hand-party video archive and ask for the video for your own records.

    Just an FYI. I went to that site and put in the longest most random passwords EVER and they ALL came back as if something had gone wrong. I was picking the most ball-breakingly hard to remember passwords..like utter nonsense and I did this until I got bored. Every time it gave the error message. So I'm kinda thinking that this site just tells you that your password is ****ed no matter what you put in, just to get you to change it.

    Like the inverse wolf-crier.

    Edit: Oh no...you know Red Dwarf had a smug mode? Well I now have a Shame Mode. I tried again and got bad results, but then I tried temporarily turning off NoScript (allowing the page fully) and it does work.

    I'm so used to it being there I forgot. Now I feel ultra-dumb.

    Double Edit: Be gentle..

    I like this setup because it keeps the cloud service and the password encryption service/software separate.
