I just tried a 11 character password without special chars, that I’ve used on over 50 sites, over the last decade. It’s my password for throaway websites. Some pretty dodgy.
Not in the database.
Makes me feel pretty good about password security overall!
- empath75 9y agoI have a password that’s a pair of words in two languages with some number substitution that I use a lot on websites I don’t care about and it’s not in the dB. And I’m sure I’ve used it on sites that have been hacked, so I dunno.
- dingo_bat 9y agoI think many websites that got hacked leaked email addresses cc info etc, but most do not store passwords so your password wasn't leaked in plaintext.
- ianlevesque 9y agoUnless the site was also storing in plaintext they’d have to actually crack the password hash too, which for some passwords is very hard to do.
