So what. I use 1Password, which the article says holds to 95,000 passwords per second with one GPU. So if say my password is 10 characters, only alphanumerical

So what. I use 1Password, which the article says holds to 95,000 passwords per second with one GPU. So if say my password is 10 characters, only alphanumerical (a-zA-Z0-9) without any symbols, it takes this one GPU 6210/95000 = 8834730167035.16 seconds or ~280,000 years to try all combinations. Even with 1000 GPUs and technical progress, easily more than a lifetime.
As my pass phrase is significantly stronger than that, I'm absolutely not worried..
- Analemma_ 9y agoPresumably they are using rainbow tables to speed it up considerably, but it’s still not a problem if you have a strong password.
- lostcolony 9y agoNo; if a password manager wasn't individually salting the hashes, I'm pretty sure it'd be front page news on technical sites.
