MD5 is long considered a broken, weak hash algorithm. Here is the MD5 hash of a password:
d9afca35a87a2af4168500640fcf2370
Password is 16 characters long, all lower case, no numbers, no special symbols.
Please tell me the password.
- Retric 5y agoWhat percentage of people do you think actually use 16 character passwords?
- 40four 5y agoProbably pretty low. I use 64 character passwords, or if there is a length limit, always the longest possible. That’s the beauty of using a password manager :)
- NmAmDa 5y agoDo you use 64 character master password?

- mod 5y agoI consider mine pretty long, and it's right around 30 characters.

But, if your password is some combination of actual words, common keyboard sequences, or anything else in a password dictionary, it's cracked pretty quick/cheap.

- pxx 5y agoYou can't. That's the point of the post. There is no known feasible pre-image attack on MD5.
