Learn how to use the “Password Hint”

You can set passwords to protect specific topics. But how can you memorize these passwords? Pagico incorporated a new feature called “Password Hint” which can help you remember those codes and keep you from forgetting.

This article shows how to use the “Password Hint” to recall your passwords, effectively.

Before we start…

Let’s meet Tom. He (can’t be a ’she’, right?), as everyone else does, has 3 frequently-used passwords, they are: “ThisIsTom“, “GreetingsTom“, and a very long one: “Come on, this is Tom!“.

Remember these 3 password so we can go on with our tutorial.

Okay, let’s start this article with Tom.

First, create a topic and name it as “It’s my privacy”, then set a password for it.

Now, you’re Tom, but you can’t remember the password (you don’t know it actually, do you?). Let’s see what Pagico can do for you (please keep in mind you have 3 frequently used passwords).

Wow, can you see that? There is a graphical password hint right under the password input box. Do you know which password did you use?

No?… Okay, let me explain this to you.

You can see there’s a short dash before an “h”, right? So it implies that in your password, there is an lower-cased “h” right behind just a few words(could be 1 or 2).
Then, the longer dash implies there are many characters that come right after the “h”, and the last word is “m”.

Now I think you can guess which password “you” used, right? That’s right, it’s “ThisIsTom”.

So what if I use a much longer password? Let’s see…

Uncle Sam could be crying if you can not guess which password did “Tom” used this time. ;-)

    I am locked out of my Pagico. I do not remember what password I might have set or even whether I actually set a password. I tried as many of the possible passwords that I might have used but none has worked. I do not understand how to activate the password hint feature.

    Hello Francisco:
    I’m sorry to hear that. The password hint feature currently is only available to topic locks. So there is no password hint for your entire Pagico database.

    However, we can help you reset the feature. Please write an email us, including the email address you used to purchase Pagico, as well as your full name that you set in your Pagico application, so we can send you a patch to unlock your Pagico.

    Hope that helps!
