Case-sensitive password gets you <1 bit of entropy per password character. That doesn't sound like that big of a deal.

- tpxl 6y agoSo a password with 10 characters is 1000 times less secure if you don't use case sensitivity. That's a big deal in my eyes.
- recursive 6y ago" times less secure" isn't really well defined. Entropy is usually measured in log-space. And in practice, it's less than one bit, since not all characters are letters.
