How many people would fall for it if it first asked for e-mail, said it was safe, and then "test your password too?"

- phlux 15y agomy passwrod, HUNTER2, is surely safe. I checked with some IT friends I met on IRC. Whenever I type my password, HUNTER2 - the rest of the world cant see it. So I am not worried.

- boreacrat 15y agowell, if it was actually safe to do, a password tester would be smart for a lot of people. you might think that the phone number of that cute girl in that movie combined with her initials is a safe password, but if you check out some of the password lists that have popped up the last year you'll see that alot of people thought the same way.
- tseabrooks 15y agoHas anyone published stats on some of the password lists that have been released lately? I'd like to know if they still conform to some of the old 'rules' about common passwords and the like. How many are just words with a single digit at the end, how many include no digits. What percentage are dictionary words? What percentage are leet-speak-ified dictionary words, etc.
