There is a huge logic gap here. He is comparing 11 characters passwords to 6 character passwords. The difference in length also will account for a significant difference in the time required with brute force.
I think what he is trying to show is that is that the lower security of using multiple common words on a password with 11 characters is still greater security than a random 6 character password, and still quite acceptable.
- alexqgb 15y agoActually, I think that's his point - by using a longer passphrase instead of a shorter passcode, you get something inherently more secure AND more memorable (added bonus: no post-its, which means one more layer of security).
- seles 15y agoThis isn't a logic cap. The 11 character password is easier to remember and faster to type than the 6 letter one, so it is perfectly fair to compare it.
