Bad passwords

Icalasari · 2012-01-22 23:12:38

A person I know but will not name has qwerty as a password

...That is...

Guh. They say it's perfectly fine. I say ಠ_ಠ

Firebert · 2012-01-22 23:17:14

At least I doubt people would try using that to hack into someone's account.

ClockworkUniverse · 2012-01-22 23:20:07

^Nah, it's on the list of most-used passwords that hackers try before they do anything more complicated.

Firebert · 2012-01-22 23:21:01

Oh...

People tend to go "that is a long password' whenever they see mine being entered (18 characters).

I usually respond with the story of the girl who got into competition with me and ended up with a 90 character password (whilst I decided yeah, no, to hell with this and kept my current password).

Icalasari · 2012-01-22 23:45:05

My best password is 26 characters long

My typical one is 9 characters long

ClockworkUniverse · 2012-01-22 23:45:30

Mine range from 11-15.

Legionnaire · 2012-01-22 23:46:34

My four passwords are 17, 18, 13 and 18 again.

ClockworkUniverse · 2012-01-22 23:48:02

Come to think of it, one of mine is 20.

Legionnaire · 2012-01-22 23:49:12

Dammit INUH now I'm going to end up switching to a longer one.

Thanks a lot >=/

i'm always lazy and use the minimum. but i use random characters to compensate

Obligatory:

I checked one of those "how quickly can your password be cracked" sites with one of my old passwords.

Apparently flatlanderwoman19 takes 1,598,632,144.75 years to crack.

ClockworkUniverse · 2012-01-23 00:53:08

My email password would apparently take over 17 million milennia to crack.

Legionnaire · 2012-01-23 00:58:41

I'd try one of those, but I'd probably get paranoid that they'll store it for later use.

ClockworkUniverse · 2012-01-23 01:00:00

The one I saw was a chart, where you look at the row for how many characters, and the column for how many types of characters.

Legionnaire · 2012-01-23 01:00:54

Where was it?

ClockworkUniverse · 2012-01-23 01:01:20

I just googled "how quickly can password be cracked" and browsed the results.

Icalasari · 2012-01-23 01:09:27

My common one would take about 10 hours to brute force, apparently

My strongest? 2.2665199981465703e+34 years

I used this site to check: http://unwrongest.com/projects/password-strength/

Legionnaire · 2012-01-23 01:14:40

Your password is forceable in 2075323351102477 years, 9 months.

Oh good, let's try the other ones.

1931 years, 9 months and 116810094568 years, 8 months.

captainbrass · 2012-01-23 01:22:10

Er...16 minutes 32 seconds and 27 seconds respectively.

I fail computer security forever.

Icalasari · 2012-01-23 02:14:19

qwerty is forceable in less than a second

qWerty takes 6 seconds
