- lucb1e 13y ago> Misinterpretation, not bullshit. Fair enough. I'm still curious about the generation method though: I can imagine that testing all texts ever published takes $200k if you go up to 40 characters, but if you use a unique text it might be different. There are a lot of variables here, including honest misspellings, punctuation use, spacing (non-tech people seem to find spaces weird in passwords), capitalization, usage of names, etc.
- tracker1 13y agoMaybe if we start changing the label to "Passwords" or "Pass phrase" to indicate that you can do something more expressive. It bugs me that even today, more systems (hello banks) don't support more open passwords. Even what's on a US Ascii keyboard would be nice. Two of my banks only support letters and numbers, no special characters and case insensitive.
