Password guessing A big and recent offender occurs in Ozark, where Laura Linney needs to get into Jason Bateman's computer but doesn't know the password, so she picks up a magazine or some shit and reads the bar code or ISBN number and it works. Biggest joke I've ever seen, especially considering there was no precursor to her being able to guess that. Like even if Bateman said to Linney at some point "oh I like using ISBN numbers as passwords" or some shit like that, then I'd get it. But there was no pretext whatsoever. That said, aside from that and a few other things that bugged me, it really is a good show. I've actually found out the password to my friends computer like that back in the day. His parents locked it out when they weren't there and I was guessing password from stuff around the desk. Turned out it was a phrase on a cd. Hacker/detective skills+1000 when it worked hahaha! <cite>dedbus posted [p:885719792] in A weird TV...
