Cracking good (long) passwords is far from trivial (and mathematically should remain that way), the main problem is most users pick terrible passwords.

- amelius 6y agoThe problem: users don't want long passwords. (Though password managers can help a lot.)
- UncleEntity 6y agoOh, the irony... One of my banking apps has a 10 minute logout "feature" (which can't be disabled) that pretty much guarantees you need to have a crappy, easy to remember, password if you want to use it. Add on top of this a predilection for "2FA" (aka text message) every few times you log in and the thing is basically an unusable hot mess. (looking at you walmart moneycard)
