The Password Game

Re:The Password Game by YellOh on Tuesday June 27, 2023 @04:59PM (#36498575)

Managed to make it almost all the way to the end! Note that "is this your final password?" is not the last challenge, despite it being the last thing on the lists other people have posted. Afterward you're asked to retype your password which is almost impossible to do, given that it's in various sizes (with any zeroes at font size zero) and partially in windings.

I recommend copy/pasting before you get there. It doesn't let you copy once that final resubmit form appears.

This is the last saved copy of mine (from ~5 steps before the end; also, yc doesn't capture the various fonts, text sizes, and emojis):

I'm impressed you were able to not get tangled up by the youtube/captcha/color hex/roman numeral mess! The youtube one is what screwed me over and over out of all my attempts

"00:00 / <minutes>:<seconds>" youtube

Google that, including the quotes, replace the minutes and seconds with your given time, then look through the results and find a URL which fits the password criteria.

Every result should be a video with that duration. If it isn't, check your useragent. I noticed some weirdness with that.

Hmm, I tried googling "00:00 / 17:02" youtube and none of the results were the right duration on both Chrome and Firefox. Any ideas?

Not sure. It's working for me

The Chrome Inspector Color Picker does not return the right hex code! You have to go into the properties to get the right value.

How do you solve the time issue - does it lock in the time at the moment you complete that rule, or do you need to keep updating the password with the new time? Also, is the time UTC or time zoned?

You need to keep updating the password. It's time zoned. Basically you have to plan ahead as to what time you want your password to be submitted at and get every other rule satisfied before that time.

In my case it was 8:20 and I had a sum of 15 so I fixed my password in the next 20ish minutes and set the target time to 9:01 at the earliest and spun up an auto hotkey script to paste the food for Paul every 20ish seconds (in reality I think it eats faster than that)

yeah, just lost at that point too, didn't have my password copy pasted anywhere :(

I guess I should have been wary of a confirm password phase. i even wrote a tiny auto hotkey script to keep feeding that stupid chicken for 40 minutes while I waited for time to tick from 8:20 (I didn't have the password ready yet) to 9:01...
