FaceBook Is Toast: Spread some PHP on it.

Riiiight... don't count on achieving the unachievable. Having one access point means all the hackers will focus on that one point.
Proliferation of passwords. They'll never get me because I've got hundreds of them. A different one for every site. I have them all written down in a notebook here at my desk labeled: PASSWORD LOG BOOK -- KEEP OUT!!!

Right. Not meaning it is unexpected like, duh...facebook is down why can't I log into facebook... :laugh: More like, uh... Facebook is down and I can't login to another site which has nothing to do with Facebook... except, oh wait... I use facebook OAuth.... Here's why it is unexpected... ... Uhh...facebook, even if you go down, I should be able to get to the OAuth piece so make it work!! However, I do believe this points out why you SHOULD NOT use facebook as your OAuth login provider. Because FB is a failure. Use Google or Twitter as your OAuth login provider instead. Ahh...

That makes sense. :thumbsup:

Everyone offers Oauth too -- as if it is a valid choice: See the CP login: http://newtonsaber.com/images/codeproj/logincp.png[^] And STackOverflow: http://newtonsaber.com/images/codeproj/login2so.png[^] It's nefarious and perfidious!!!

Facebook seems to be down for me right now. I've heard there've been recent problems. Now, consider this... If you use Facebook as your Social Login at other sites, you probably can't get into those either. Terrible!! Unintended consequences...

Even CP encourages such behavior. Everyone offers Oauth too -- as if it is a valid choice: See the CP login: http://newtonsaber.com/images/codeproj/logincp.png[^] And STackOverflow: http://newtonsaber.com/images/codeproj/login2so.png[^] It's insidious and perfidious, is it not!?

Yes, it is a failed system and the owner/creators should pull it immediately. It must have 100% uptime or it is a failure. Imagine if the key to your car only worked 99.9% of the time! :laugh:

You can sign on to CP via OAuth social login: See... (sorry I can't post the image in line) Edit fixed links http://newtonsaber.com/images/codeproj/logincp.png[^] And StackOverflow: http://newtonsaber.com/images/codeproj/login2so.png[^]

I heard the outages mentioned on local radio on Friday. But now today I'm experiencing them. Wonder why there's not more about this out there? Maybe it's a localized problem?
Probably because most FarceBook users who are getting the problem are trying to discuss it the only way they know how...on Farcebook... :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Frist reason why I do not usually use FB login. The second is that they can peruse through your posts and informations, I once published a strong and politically uncorrect opinion on a site which I visit only sporadically... and found the company I work for written beside my name. Now, of course it didn't happen anything - and I pulled off from "Public" my company's name, but that's bad privacy, other than a single point of access. A single virus or attack or backdoor on one of my devices connected to FB and I would be fried all over the world. Just a big nope. The only problem I have with many passwords is that many sites - Store them in a retrievable way - Do not accept not alfanumeric characters (so no %$&£#@) which of course I use - Are limited in lenght!! My Inusracne company and other sites limit the size of password TO 8 characters maximum.

All great points and I agree. Also, I've found that there are lot of sites which limit the password in different ways. It is as if someone completely backwards on security has designed the system. Oh, wait, I think I've figured out the problem. :)

I haz da codz. Rot-13 should do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13[^]
string EncryptPwd(string clearPwd)
{
// actually this is a lazy ROT13 which
// provides more encryption since no one will ever figure
// out the encryption routine. :)
string cipherPass = string.Empty;
foreach (char c in clearPwd)
{cipherPass += Convert.ToChar(c + 13);}
return cipherPass;
}string DecryptPwd(string cipherPwd)
{
string clearPass = string.Empty;
foreach (char c in cipherPwd)
{
clearPass += Convert.ToChar(c - 13);
}
return clearPass;
}NOTE: I marked this as joke, but someone will come along and use it for their SUPERSECURE Web Site. :laugh:

Good grief, I really think my car insurance and the national train service actually use this code. :~
