I'd like to improve the security of edit codes. How do these options sound to you?
* Add a 'strength meter' that requires a certain length, like a password. This would be based on how hard it'd be to crack, rather than fixed rules
* Switch the custom edit code option with a tickbox, making it so that only randomised edit codes are possible.
* Prevent re-using the same edit codes twice within the same 2 hours on different URLs (checked per user, not against all users)
umm so honestly the first one is the best option in my opinion, the second really shouldnt need to be necessary. the users should know that if they make something as simple like "cake" it would obviously be easy to crack so thats really on them 😭 (not saying the people guessing codes are right for it, its really sad those people exist). and additionally the last one and 2nd one would be horrible for people with memory issues, hell even putting it somewhere, it feels like way to much to keep up with maybe...
tldr: the first one is the best option
