I find that message misleading. The xkcd comic does have a point, and thus should be taken seriously. (Despite the obvious downside that those passwords take longer to type, which is why I still prefer short, cryptic passwords.)
So a better message might be:
"Don't follow the webcomic too closely. :)"
- wh-uws 15y agoIts saying dont use that particular password. Any attacker of this script would know what it was inspired by and attempt that password in a dictionary. Rendering it about as useless as 123456789 in this instance
- schiffern 15y agoIt actually says, "Woah there, don't take advice from a web-comic too literally!"
