[OFFICIAL][CONSOLIDATED] Age Verification Discussion Thread

[DragonFire]

Is it verify one time in future no need to do it again for every age restricted post?

If I were managing the system it’d be one time for every fingerprinted device. Right now it seems like once per account regardless of device.

will never login/link anything with my singpass unless it is .gov.sg

There is no "linking" of SingPass to HWZ forum account.

The SingPass thingey is just used to verify the Users' age (above 18 years old or not).

That's it.

No data is stored by HWZ/SPH.

Thought this would be a great way to stamp out clones

Or a bank yes?

Pai sei to let HWZ know that I am a 60 yo behaving like I'm 18 here..

Any chance that I am not yet 18?

I suppose so but the way of doing it is not right. SPH should have no way to know the actual name and DOB of the member, whether it is saved in permanent storage or not. All it needs is to confirm whether the member is above or below 18. SingPass should be configured to just send this info, ie a 1 or 0.

local big known bank yes. other than that, no way.

It can be if they store a hash of name and dob. This is a computed string and cannot be reverse engineered to give original name and dob. So it isn’t storing Singpass data.

HWZ knows the truth now, Bro Bruiser!

Think hard before you say anything next time!

Huh that means we will have to verify again? Isn't this un-smart? Waste time only

 

[Monstruo^]

Why must do until like that? Surf forum nia…

How come mod said hwz don't store our singpass info when the AI recognize that we verified before? Isn't this storing data? I'm uneducated, anyhow ask question

Y need to verify age leh? What's the reason?

 

[Travis_Touchdown]

maybe lo...

means chiu ish will self expose??

 

[Geminiboy]

That is something to be done by Singpass, and SPH has no say over that.

From a database manager’s POV, it is unneeded data because it can be derived from other stored data.

Yes but if SingPass wants to be truly safe and useful, then they should implement it. The principle should be to give the least information possible for the requesting site to meet its purpose, while ensuring the maximum protection for the member.

 

[maleisme]

suspicious indeed, sooner or later sum1 will report mata. sorrii mods, hwz will nt touch my sgpass. dun read oso wont lugiii, no one cares niwaess

 

[dambio]

Haha

I replied to sickoflife post the answer is PAP

And became age verifiable

Slowly by surely we're gonna find out wat normal words n terms cannot alr.

 

[tExtra]

Doesn’t matter that no data is stored by HWZ. Fact is SingPass sends name and DOB to HWZ. Then HWZ uses the DOB to calculate age.

Would be different if SingPass just send confirmation that the subject is above 18. It doesn’t have to send DOB or any other info.

Newb here.. https://api.id.gov.sg/ = HWZ or gahment? If is latter, it’s correct to say HWZ dun store your name/DOB, but didn’t say gahment didn’t store/cannot associate the username to you, tio boh?

After verification, HWZ system can simply add a field to the member info indicating age verified.
