Edit:

Despite what the summary and title say, the password was not "Chuck Norris". The password was a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols that essentially spelled "Chuck Norris". In other words, probably something like "(hu(|<N0rr15". Also, it only worked from within the Facebook office, and was only known to certain individuals. It's not like you or I could have used the password from home to enter anyone's account.

at least the master password wasn't something weak like "rick moranis." by using chuck norris, you can tell facebook was taking security seriously.

bwhahahahahaha

S? tragem pu?in aer în piept ?i s? recapitul?m:

Deci,

The default password only worked from the Facebook office on the Facebook ISP.

Chiar dac? v? oripileaz? conceptul de "one password to rule them all", s? nu uit?m c?

It's pretty normal for support personnel to have access to production systems in order to provide support.

Am inteles ca parola nu era "Chuck Norris", insa avea la baza acest nume. N-am fost atent la faza cu "only worked from the Facebook office".
