Do you think you'll remember that weak password in 10 years time? Or are you thinking you'll brute force it when the time comes? In which case there's not much

Do you think you'll remember that weak password in 10 years time? Or are you thinking you'll brute force it when the time comes? In which case there's not much reason to encrypt in the first place.
- cpach 11y agoI don’t know, but I definitely think it’s easier to remember that string than a 30 characters long random string. I could even use my given name to make it more memorable. To clarify: I didn’t primarily choose my backup application because it encrypts the backups but because it seemed like a reliable application with a solid user interface. (In Arq, encryption is not optional.)
- hollander 11y agoYou can repeat that string, or use five easy words to get to that 30 character string.
