I thought it would be a lot of fun to take a look at what a “secure server” is.
Basically, a secure server is a server that’s been set up so that, if someone wants to break into it, they have to put in a password. This can make it a bit more difficult to break into, but it also allows for the use of multiple passwords and a system where each member of the site can have access to a single password.
As it turns out, going to a secure server requires a bit of a commitment. After all, how do you even go about picking a new password for a site that has over a million computers on it! It seems that security is something we’ve all been conditioned to expect from our sites these days, but it’s a lot of work that can be rewarding but intimidating.
Of course, the idea of using a password for all of your sites is a bit odd, but it has some real advantages: you don’t have to think about locking your password to a single computer, and because you only have to change your password once, there’s no chance someone will be able to reuse your password to access your site on any other computer.
The other nice thing about a password is that it can be used for a variety of sites. The problem with a password is that it can be accessed by anyone with a password. A password that is shared can be stolen and abused. So the only way to ensure your site remains secure is to lock down all your passwords and only use the ones you need for one site.
At the very least I’d suggest you stay away from password-based security. If you go in a different direction, you can get yourself into a situation where you may be able to crack some of your passwords and use them directly to gain access.
I’ve seen that happen too. I’ve even seen some people do it on purpose. I’ve got a friend who was recently able to access a bank account with his mother’s maiden name. I don’t know how common it is, but it’s a pretty easy way to get to know someone.
Ive seen this happen too, but Ive never done anything about it. Ive just never had any reason to. The biggest reason Ive avoided security is that Ive found out that it was easy and fun. Ive also noticed a lot of people are afraid of using it. So its not a matter of if it will happen, its a matter of when.
A bunch of people are using it to scare us. Ive seen it before, but Ive never put it before anyone.
