RE: Dirty Word Filter

To further add to that, how would one know in the beginning that there was
a password with a dirty word in it?

RE: Dirty Word Filter






I don't see the point of filtering Dirty word in password. Shouldn't it
be a private thing. Nobody else should be able to see it and nobody
else should know it but the owner.

Then to make it relevant to RPG:

In 1990 I had to write a Password validity checker program (in RPG) to
attach to the CHGPWD command which, among other things, would keep a
user from using a dirty word as their password (or embedded within their
password).

The really funny thing is that I had a database file with all of the
dirty words (that we could think of) in clear text for the RPG program
to check against.
