How secure is your password? [Graphic]
- wendroid 17y agoI so don't get why people are not encouraged to use pass phrases rather than single words as they are both easy to remember and long. Take the example weak password "iloveu" if you changed that to "i love beer" or "i love big cocks" you rocket from weak to strong. You can even work the name of the site in there "i love facebook" or "i love hacker news". /me shakes head btw. what's a "strenght meter"?
- derefr 17y ago> what's a "strenght meter"? A pretty good password.
- aristus 17y agoLOLWUT. Why is "money" less strong than "business", while "abc123" is stronger than "qwerty"? Fluff.
- julius_geezer 17y agoWhy Nicole?
- jpschorr 17y agoI'm guessing children's names. A quick check of popular baby names in the US (here: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/) shows Michael and Daniel to still be quite popular. All four names mentioned appear several times in the top 15 baby names for years between 1979 and 2000 or so. Nicole averages around the 7th most popular name for the 80's.
- cfinke 17y agoI saw the headline and took "[Graphic]" in the wrong context and wondered what kind of shocking imagery would accompany an article about password strength.
