Couple of quickies

[lordbeau 8]

1. When hopping from one server to another using QUICK CONNECT (not disconnecting first), is the connection protected during this time (no leaks etc)?

 

2. How important is the account password for the login details? Does it need to be long and complicated or basically, not particularly?

 

Thanks for any answers to these two quick questions.

When Network Lock is enabled, you are protected during the entire process.

It's a good practice to keep strong passwords no matter what the service is about. On Air there are nothing much an

attacker can do if he gets your password, except posting on forums and using your 3 slots.

The traffic is encrypted with certificates and not with passwords, and thanks to Perfect Forward Secrecy it is not decryptable

retroactively, so there is no actual risk of lost passwords or stolen accounts, unlike with some other providers.

That's as I figured. Thanks for the reply.
