Windows password hint?
Posted on July 24th, 2008 by Dave
Windows allows users to set a password hint. A user can set this hint to be the same value as their password (on XP SP2, not tested on others). Wrong.
Then I came across this (Vista SP1+):

In summary: Setting a hint is now mandatory, but wait, if you don’t want to use it just type in something meaningless.
Two wrongs do not make a right! That would be three lefts.
