[Theory] Pre-Typed Password

[Sabith]

After seeing posts about auto-login programs and hearing "encrypted" or "in a text file" I started searching the World of Warcraft folder.

Inside the WTF Folder I opened the "Config" Folder.

I scrolled through it and near the end I found the section that puts my username in the username spot of the log in screen everytime I open WoW.



My thoery is im thinking you can maybe put in something similar to "[Square]Set password "xxxxxxxxxx" and it will always be pre-typed.

I have tryed copy pasting "[Square]Set password "xxxxxxxxxx" and it didnt work but maybe someone from the MMOwned community can make something of this.

eh? I doubt that would work. I'm sure it wasn't hardcoded to have something in the config, if it's not already there.

I don't think blizz would code something like that in there, because of hacker reasons. someone could simply find this file, therefore finding a password... :-\

Although, I'm completely willing to admit this is a possibility. I haven't yet messed around with this sort of thing, so I don't think I want to take any chances messing my file up >.< -if this method is found I'm willing to hit +2rep

Just to let you know the "squares" are Line Feeds, you an only see them in notepad because it does not have formatting support.

Open in a text editor that supports formatting and they will just be on seperate lines.

Nice idea but im guessing that the parser that Blizzard uses to intake that information only looks for set information. But nice theory, would be great if they implemented it. Weill i think it would have to be hashed tho ;p

btw the square is an indentation by pressing tab. Btw this is the stupidest theory yet. Unless blizzard put some string or integer to hold that information, then it would just be nothing. If you try it, it won't work. So this theory sucks.

And that's why he made a thread asking about this.

Over react more please.

is there any more Btw's and QQ's you want to say?

Do you even know what a theory is? Its when someone asks about if a possibility can work.
