best sibling prank ever.

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

If it's revenge, what did YOU do?

I didn't do anything. I just said it FEELS like revenge.

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.

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.

Yeah I agree.

Hi, just joined Chess.com. I am new to chess and just playing the bot because I am so slow. Thank you for the warning about passwords. I do not have a sister and hope you forgive her soon. She may be a little jealous of your chess success and could not resist temptation?

Part of me thinks so too. But what makes me doubt it is that my sister had advanced to legend league, while I was still in champion. Anyway, thanks for viewing this forum thread!
