+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted March 30, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted March 30, 2015 I would like to log into the IRC server, but I'm really not comfortable using my password here for IRC... it just seems extremely insecure. Any method of using an alternate ident ID would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anibal P Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You should be fine, logins have been encrypted for a while now, AND you should not have the same password for anything important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted March 30, 2015 Author Subscriber² Share Posted March 30, 2015 Which is why I don't want to use my Neowin password ;-) The problem with IRC is the password input, not a database breech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 30, 2015 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2015 The IRC server offers TLS, just like the forum. It's no less secure than logging in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
