1. Define weak.
2. You can't see anyone's passwords unless you can decrypt them, and if they could, that could be a security hazard.
3. That's a horrible idea.

Yes, actually, I do.
Take a look at the toggle-able options thread in this section.

I'm sorry, but your idea is EPIC PHAIL.

If you see a hacker posting "stuff", just leave the Forums for a few hours.

We need one of those things that read if a password is strong or not; though if there was a way to ban all users with weak passwords, i'd agree.

Here are a few hints to keep your account hack proof :wee: :

1. Don't ever give out your password to anyone not even your bestest friend. (that one's pretty obvious.)
2. Don't make your password something like your username with a number or two at the end. tThe best kind of passwords are ones that are almost completely random. e.g. Hd5h4fs8bb2 is pretty good. Of course you're going to have to figure out how to remember a password like that!
3. Scan your computer for spyware and viruses weekly. Spyware can be in a form of a keylogger. Keyloggers log your keystokes including when you're typing your password!
4. Change your password every couple of weeks.
5. Don't leave yourself logged in if people other than yourself have access to your computer.

Follow these tips and you should be fine! :) i hope... /:|
