Password strength

Recommended Posts

Actually if you made your password "aaaaaaaaaa" it would be caught instantly because repeated characters or sets of characters of 6 digits or less are checked fairly easily.

 

To brute force every combo 6 characters long is ridiculously short and to check those combos 5 times repeated is ridiculously short too and can result in cracking "long" passwords that are repetitious like:

 

"aaaaaaaaaaa" or "catscatscats"

 

That being said, Centran is right about password length being the most important factor, as adding digits and other characters is insignificant now because passwords that are 6 characters or shorter are brute forced and passwords up to 10 characters are checked very easily as well through hashing and other methods...

 

anyways... :

 

forum: It would take a desktop PC about 0.544195584 seconds to crack my password!

important stuff: It would take a desktop PC about 25  years to crack my password!

very important stuff: It would take a desktop PC about 51 million  years to crack my password!

Stuff I don't want touched ever: It would take a desktop PC about 603 unvigintillion  years to crack my password!

My Google password won't be cracked any time soon.

Hell I'll even show you how many digits it is.
