Is your password too weak? Do you use a different password everywhere? Find out how long it would take to brute force break your password: https://passfault.appspot.com/password_strength.html

[c2]Use a similar password if uncomfortable using actual passy. :rose: [/c2]

Hmmm - 1 month, 22 days...... I somehow can't see anyone wanting to expend that much effort on my password(s) :)

My old password got about 1 month.

My new, improved master keepass password took 121300545019067970 centuries. That's quite secure. :)

This is of course rather irrelevant as using distributed computing efforts could vastly decrease brute force time, similarly how fast computers can get in the future.

Corrine · Sep 24, 2012

True, Cayden, but it is an eye-opener to some people. There are already password cracking programs that would likely be able to easily crack Noel's 1 month, 22 days password.

What people forget is that the limiting factor isn't the amount of computing power you can bring to bear on the password itself, but the time taken to actually test each variant.
This is a massive bottleneck which cannot be overcome so easily.

I'm extremely relaxed on my security and privacy. Companies, agencies, governments and whatnot will get a hold of my data one way or another so I don't bother fighting it. I do secure my home network and such however against intruders.

Thanks Corrine for that link, got another bookmark.

Many of my passwods are not very strong, it just depends were I am visiting. My money things are well protected (I hope)
