If anyone is worried they might forget their password then send it to me over a DM and if you ever forget I can remind you.

It’s not dumb because this is DEFINITLY not about me simply (stupidly) showing passwords to others - it’s about my sister figuring out a way to find my password with iCloud keychain, and it’s also rare that a family member would show another’s password to a stranger so many people talk about it.

According to me, I think that’s more like revenge than a prank.

Honestly your sister sounds like she was so dumb to do that. Like why??

Well, if that happens, you can:

1) Tell your mom (remember to record the evidence as early as you can because my sister archived her post to hide the evidence).

2) Accept it and do what you can to improve.

Anyway, don’t lose trust in any of your siblings just because of my post. I’m sure that if you have a sibling, then he/she would never do that.

nope my siblings are not bad people it seems just by the fact she tried to hide the evidence she knew what she did was wrong.

HELLO! This is important stuff. I want to tell you that NEVER LET ANYONE know your password, even your siblings. And don’t save it on keychain unless it’s really long. I’ll explain why based on an incident that happened on 22 November this year. (You probably know it)

So I saved my password on keychain, but my iPad and my sister’s are connected, so if I save my password on keychain, it would be saved on my sister’s ipad as well. My mom knows that but she believes in my sister and DEFINITELY didn’t expect her to do something so horrifying… In November, she actually REVEALED MY PASSWORD TO ONE OF HER FRIENDS (since my password is saved on keychain)! I didn’t know that by then, but the person logged into my account, resigned games on purpose, dropped my rating by nearly 500, and I got banned from sandbagging. Of course, Chess.com sent an email to me, but my chess account’s email didn’t match the email that I was using on the Gmail app. So when I tried to log into my account, it failed, and when I checked the email Chess.com sent, it was 3 hours too late. At first I was pretty suspicious of my sister because I know her friend’s location and it matched up to the location that the email indicated. But my sister lied and told me that someone could’ve guessed my password because it might be easy to guess - apparently my password back then was Ducminh12345678 - an easy guess and could be found right away using a brute force attack by a hacker. But I was still supicious, and the next morning… Well, I have to admit this: I did something bad, but I had to. I opened my sister’s iPad when she didn’t wake up yet, checked her profile, and you know what I saw. The message to her friend revealing my password. When my sister woke up she didn’t know that I already had PERFECT evidence of her bad actions, so she tried to cover it up by archiving her chat so I couldn’t prove anything. Luckily, I screenshoted the evidence before that, so I showed it to my mom and she it 11 on a rage meter from 1-10. After that, I fixed what I could: I filled out the request form, changed my password, DIDN’T save it on keychain and I’m still tring to raise my rating to over 800 like it originally was. So remember:

1. Make sure your password is 100% secure.

2. Make your password really long and hard to guess, and really memorable, just in case.

3. Never save your password on keychain because you don’t know what it could do to you.

you never lost 500 elo

Yeah sorry, I’m gonna edit my post. Guess I was exaggerating

I agree

Avatar of PennsylvanianDude

Yeah just a good lesson to be careful with your stuff

My sibling is unable to penetrate my password because I did not save it anywhere

Avatar of Qinshu111_the_chess_panda

my sister exposed her Sumdog password though

Avatar of Qinshu111_the_chess_panda

It gave me something fun to do as my Sumdog account was deleted and other games were banned

I always felt that siblings though can give you some joy for a few days but ultimately they are a nuisance.I am lucky to be a single child.

If you don't have siblings, you can't assume what they will be like, you're probably annoying tbh.

If it's revenge, what did YOU do?
