How can someone hack your AOL account?

Seems like no matter how many times I change my passwords on my AOL account my GF continues to gain access to my account....She uses the same computer as me but I dont store my pass word or anything and I cant figure how she gets in.....
Dont have nothing to hide but it just aggravates me lol and puzzles me at the same time....lol:lol:

;D Seeing as this is your first post, I welcome you to TTF.

Your girlfriend could be guessing your password, using a keylogger to see what keystrokes you type; then using that; or something of the sort. I don't think she would be able to brute force your password because AOL Dialup servers give a timeout error if there are too many failures in a short timespawn.

Remember to have complicated passwords. The more private the account, the more cryptic your passwords. For example, an old yahoo password of mine was:

jufh80h4unfvnxjk45ha

Brute force cracking that would take a heck of a long time. Not worth it. If it was cracked in one day, or even a week by one computer, then she's either using a keylogger, or has some sort admin account where she can control passwords of other users.

Also, I have not kept up with AOL hacking recently, but there could be a possibility that AOL passwords are encrypted in the user's computer and she might have an app that decrypts it. It's a possibility.

I wish I had an intelligent ,evil and a bit geeky gf like that rather than the extra-emotional gf of mine .

Is there any possibility of getting the best of both worlds? (geeky and emotional) Hell at this point I'll for either as long as she can put up with a passion for all things Star Trek. (among my other obsessions) :cheesy:

Ok I admit I'm way off topic here.

In all honesty, I wouldn't want a geeky, techie girl. I deal enough with computers during the day, that I don't want it to be the topic of conversation when I'm not near them. I guess I don't have the passion for computers as much as some of you guys.

My girlfriend is a bit emotional at times, which is normal, and healthy. She likes to play with photoshop, and has an interest in the things I do on the computer. She finds things like ssh+screen+ncurses, and VNC amazing. Having a girlfriend who is intrigued by technology, but not 100% into is not. I don't think I would like having competition. Plus, can you imagine the things called out in bed?:cheesy:

We're not here to help anyone with illegal activity.
In fact I hope you get reported to law enforcement for trying to get people to help you commit a felony.

Most of the accounts which get cracked are through Social Engineering ..

Read " The Art of Deception" By Kevin Mitnick.
