I dunno but it made me laugh.

If you're going to do that, make your password something like: p"|\0x0,a>\l;'`\u0;

The CSV file can use any delimiter and you can quote the field. Putting a double quote could break the parser. Also, if they're storing this in a SQL db, single quotes are good too.

p"|\0x0,a>\l;'`\u0;

All my important passwords look like that. I generally use random 24 character strings with upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.

I just use niggerniggernigger, or yourenotreallyawoman.

liberals would never be able to bring themselves to type that, and conservatives are too gentlemanly to do anything negative to my files if they did.

As an added benefit, I'd make them repeat the readback in court a dozen times while I'm being prosecuted.

Complex password that is frequently changed and Multifactor Factor Authentication is the most practical security.

I don't know, that's not very convenient. I prefer "password" as a password. It's easy to type and remember.

Is that you John Podesta (thesun.co.uk)?

It's probably worthless because any remotely competent hacker will escape commas or quotes or any other symbols that would mess with the file format.

Same for SQL or shell commands. Your password is data, so if it gets parsed or executed then something is going catastrophically wrong with the system processing it.

I don't use commas (plural, not possessive as in the meme) in my passwords, typically. I do frequently use pipes ( | ) and semicolons, though.

Possibly. Sometimes certain punctuation marks are not allowed in a password or username.

I'm gonna try it.

Why not? Worst that happens is your password is rejected and you have to pick another.

Passwords are hashed before being saved in the database.

Wasn't inquiring about PWs, just making a joke about the old XKCD I linked to.

I know, my comment was for people thinking they were directly stored in clear in the database.

Your password should be: sudo rm -rf / Or possibly: sudo command >/dev/sda or sudo dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda or sudo >>sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda

Ha, I don't know what any of that means except sudo, and that is bad jew jew

The first one is "erase everything on this computer".

I can't recall what that other stuff does, but it appears to be messing with the main hard drive.

Yeah, so don't put any of those things in a command line. Ever.

Well, when I find out where the break is in the csv file (which would not be difficult at all)... I'm going straight after the bastard who owns the comma password.

Not really, passwords are hashed before entring the db and sanitized, so the odds of this actually breaking something is nil. If however ... pajeet does a plain text store, than yes, this would work

Learn to use apostrophes correctly first. It's commas, not comma's.
