Post subject:  Reverse engineering passwords?
Seemingly, passwords all have some sort of encryption in them that gives a player a certain rating, his position, his team, all of these things, so, my question is has anyone ever tried to reverse engineer the passwords to see what combinations mean what for a player? Is it even possible or are those passwords just a random jumble with no real meaning? It doesn't make sense that they would be since they can be entered into anyone's respective system and they automatically are able to use that player. I'm thinking of looking into it unless someone tells me its a complete waste of my time.

I'm sure they mean something, but there are just too many different combinations to ever understand what they mean. Let's say there are 80 different symbols (I don't remember exactly, so that's just a guess), and the password is 8 lines of 18 symbols each. That would mean there are about 11090678776483259438313656736572334813745748301503266300681918322458485231222502492159897624416558312389564843845614287315896631296000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 different password combinations.

I'm sure they do mean something, but players have more than one password. If you check the password of the same player multiple times, it will come up with a new password each time.
