The GGG servers use a hash based on your current system time to encrypt your password. If you give someone your computer's current clock time, they can hack your account.

Never give anyone your time of day.

Thats totally not how it works, unless you were incredbly accurate and on top of that accounted for latency when posting.

And even then it would be very very hard.

Pointless, but that doesn't change the fact that there is only one correct answer, and it's independent of OP's TZ.

Actually, if it was asymmetrically encrypted, their server doesn't need to know the system time at all (the private key, used for encryption, is not the key used for decryption (in asymmetric encryption - in symmetric encryption, the encryption and decryption keys are the same)). If the system time is used as a seed value for the encryption, it's not necessarily needed to decrypt the data. In fact, it's not necessarily required that the server knows the decrypted password at all.

Cryptography is quite interesting and very complex...it's not as simple as "encrypted using variable x" means "having variable x = decrypted".
