Surprised to find &quot;Marseille&quot; in the 701-800 :D<p>According to LastPass, &quot;The following 114 hint(s) were used by 470 other people that share your password.&quot;. I wonder where I&#x27;m gonna find mine :D<p>Though this has a therapeutic effect: I&#x27;m not the only sucker to use a brand as my to-go password.<p>brb, changing my HN password

One of mine was &quot;password1&quot;. All the hints were things like &quot;usual&quot;, &quot;standard&quot; and &quot;the one I use everywhere&quot;. Although not unexpected, this is scary: Not only are people using the same password everywhere, they&#x27;re using THIS password everyone.

If you already have the answers right, the &#x27;check&#x27; button appears not to work, but actually it highlights only those cells which are wrong, so if you&#x27;ve got it right it won&#x27;t highlight anything.<p>Ben: Maybe when you get everything right it could give you a big green tick or something?

Doesn&#x27;t seem to be working for me - neither in Iceweasel (Firefox) 25 or chromium (30) :-&#x2F;

This is great, yet sobering that people still use awful passwords.

Kinda weird that the crossword is case sensitive and only works with lowercase letters. Funny idea, though.

Hmm, rendering is broken. Missing grid lines, misaligned; unusable. I presume this is CDN issues?

Talking to them now about CDNs and other means to handle the increased load - Sorry everyone!
