How does Google Authenticator work? Thank you for the well defined answer and followup. Quick summary of section 7.4: Resynchronization of the Counter every now and then and a look-ahead window for the counter is what makes things work without requiring instant-sync. |

How does Google Authenticator work? In the case of HOTP, how does Google Authenticator know that I have "used" the password without syncing with the server? What Google Authenticator does is that it continues to flash different keys and I can just use any one them without giving feedback to my mobile. |

How isolated are files on a VirtualBox virtual machine from the host filesystem? Do all SSDs use the second option or does some of them not use encryption at all? and how can I tell before buying one? |

Why don't people hash and salt usernames before storing them It looks like we are both saying the same thing but using different terminology. When I say lookup I mean getting the username and displaying it when you mean just checking if it's properly provided or not. Cheers. |

Why don't people hash and salt usernames before storing them @LucasKauffman which part of my comment you think is wrong? Please elaborate, maybe we'll all learn something new here. Thanks. |

Why don't people hash and salt usernames before storing them You can't look up the username if it's hashed (that's by definition). You can only test if the provided username/password (both hashed, salted or not) are there in the database and are related to each other. The only thing you can look up is the display name. |

What are some risks of purchasing a “used” domain name Is there a way we can prevent this from happening? |

How secure is aSSL (javascript)? Does it effectively mimic SSL? Also, keep in mind that it looks like its outdated software (the "news" section dates back to 30-12-2009) so even if the logic/technique behind it is sound, you wouldn't want to use outdated code for your security needs. |

Webmail host knows my password And while at it do use a password manager like KeePass. Highly recommended when you have a lot of passwords as you'll be able to store distinct and decent passwords in it. Just make sure you don't forget the master KeePass password or loose the key files (recommended to have both set of course). Cheers. |
