Why did so many retards fall for this?
>>
Because it’s right. What’s your opposition?

Heuristic dictionary attacks mean you can try ALL possible combinations of common length passwords if you assume they're passphrase based.
>>
What's retarded is mandating a scheduled password reset.
>>
>>110060480
a letter is just a token
a word is just a token

increasing the character set to 200k doesn't help much if the password is four letters long
>>
>>110060526
>200k
or in the case of horse battery stapler, like 2k since you check common words first

No one has trouble remembering passwords like this. This is like those commercials where the people using the generic product in comparison act like retards and drop shit everywhere. It just doesn't happen.
>>
>>110060507
forcing normies to change their compromised passwords has probably saved billions of dollars in identity fraud
>>
>>110060504
On the character logic, the more possibility's you have per character the stronger a code would be
>Numbers
You have 10 possible options to choose from per character.
>Letters
You have 26 possible options to choose from per character.
>Symbols
You have 40 possible options to choose from per character.
>Unicode
You have 310,341 possible options to choose from per character.

The strongest code would be an alt based one. Which is just alt + a number between 1 and 310,341. The only problem is designers haven't caught on yet.
>Technically the strongest code is Ⰶ and no one cares
>>
>>110060551
They do it where I work and everyone uses 8char dictionary word passwords because of it.
>>
>>110060551
>password1
>password2
etc. it makes it worse because in order to remember some shit you change all the fucking time you have to simplify it and use a formulaic, repetitive approach across multiple platforms
>>
No idea why people have so much trouble with passwords.

I have one single password that I use for all my accounts which isnt using a password manager, I have this one password and then an easy to remember "salt" at the end, which changes depending on the website, then i simply put that password into a cryptographic language converter app on my phone

It creates a completely random, very long password that I can paste and I will always be able to remember that password

Normnigs never log out so they fuble their passwords all the time

When did /g/ turn so low IQ?

Have you tried working out how long that will take?

>>110060463
My password is the same dictionary word in five different languages (you'll never guess the fifth one).
