I don't like that at all. 12 chars is much too long. And what does "not be a commonly used password" mean?

- ddeck 7y agoIt means it's shouldn't be on this list[1] for example, because it makes brute force guessing from a dictionary of common passwords easy. - Of all the password databases breached in 2016, "123456" made up 4% of them [1].

- pbreit 7y ago123456 is not even a word. “Common passwords” is meaningless. I can’t even think of a “common” 12+ char password.
- boring_twenties 7y agoWhat a fascinating rabbit hole. Most of these obviously come from users not giving even a single fuck, but what about #9, "trustno1"? For some reason I suspect those guys are thinking they're really clever and no1 will ever guess that. I'm also kind of surprised not to find some variation of "sesame" on here.

- pbreit 7y agoSerious. 12 char min for a password is silly. “Common passwords” is silly and meaningless. Together they make no sense.
