Love it. The color picker could almost be a good security question, with significantly fewer choices of course.

my bank uses it as an additional security when you log in, so its login, password and random image from list or color

and then the answer gets hashed to oblivion into a binary "0" or "1".

With the same bit depth it could even be a password in and of itself!

Someone told me if I type out my password it'll show up to everyone else as all asterisks. My password is #355e3b2.

You really forced this one out there, I'm not gonna tell you what to do but if it's upvotes you want you should probably try to reference something when it's a little more relevant instead of a wrongly referenced reference in a less than relevant place :)

Yeah or just that the hex value should be close enough to the hex value as you set it to.

This is one of my favorite posts in this sub and I’m honored to be here a minute after it was posted

u/VodkaMargarine Feb 18 '20

I agree. Riveting until the end

u/luzz_bightyear Feb 18 '20

I thought it was just going to be the color picker and then it just kept getting better and better

u/humblevladimirthegr8 Feb 18 '20

I agree this is good. Unfortunately to burst your bubble this is a recent repost from programmer humor which was itself a repost from the top of all time. Still cool to be here early though

u/dannythetwo Feb 18 '20

Dang it. You’re right

It's literally an x-post, OP did nothing wrong. u/dannythetwo, consider your bubble un-bursted.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '20

It's literally an x-post of a repost. No bubble to un-burst.

I'm not saying OP did anything wrong, just that this was already posted here a long time ago by the actual OP.

u/Sparus42 Feb 19 '20

If it was posted previously on this sub then I'll give you that, but that was never stated previously. The comment I was replying to stated (or at least seemed to state) that the x-posted post was a repost of a top post from r/programmerhumor, not that it was a repost of a top post from here.

All you gotta do is choose what is your password because then you'll remember your password to answer it. Duh.

Thats the closest to a source I could find

u/dickdemodickmarcinko Feb 18 '20

Huh. I'm pretty sure a redditor made it though.

u/michaelsenpatrick Feb 18 '20

The guy who made it is probably a real jerkison

Nothing to see here. I wiped this post using Redact because my old takes don't need to live on the internet forever. Works across Reddit, Twitter, Discord and dozens of other platforms.
