I don't understand these insanely long password requirements. How are they more secure than say a strong 8-char password?
Even with a 12 password policy I see most people just using 'MyP@ssword2021', so I guess with 64 characters most people will just use 'MyPassword(012..9){6}'

- mattowen_uk 5y agoYesterday I was playing with this: https://www.my1login.com/resources/password-strength-test/ https://www.my1login.com/resources/password-strength-test/ Along with this: https://www.random.org/strings/ https://www.random.org/strings/ and I discovered that apparently, a 7 character password of random chars that includes a 0 (zero) is really hard to crack! I wont be doing that though for my own passwords but it was interesting none-the-less.
