"its own"

And yes it should, and expendable passwords because the world is filled with morons who "encrypt" your password with rot13 or one round of unsalted md5 (but your better follow their "strong password rules")

Thanks for the correction. You know, I was once taught, quite poorly, that the apostrophe is used for possession, and when I'm not mindful about it, my brain makes this jump that when referring to something that "belongs" to whatever "it" refers to, that it therefore possesses this thing and therefore should have an apostrophe.

If I think about writing, I write its, but when I'm thinking what I want to write and my fingers just type it, it is like a layer of execution intercepts that thought and correct it.

I guess that's just the brain and one of its features, it's nuts.

Getting back to the subject, this is one of the biggest issues, idiots who hold our data and yet don't add salts to their encryption because salt is bad for you.

That works great until you have to actually remember it.
