You indirectly state that I claim "knowing the character pool of a password lets you reliably predict if n is sufficient." Please point to the part of my statement which reflects this idea.

I would eat any living organism except for another human and close pets whom mean a whole lot to me emotionally and whom carry transitional memories that my brain wishes to keep. Not eating another human has nothing to do with the fact that

In many cases, I have observed that an emotional connection with another animal is enough to prevent hunting of either just the animal itself or in some cases the entire species. In a more extreme example I've known chickens to run amo

Not quite the same but once I had to install Windows 7 and NVIDIA graphics drivers without a functioning monitor. If blind runs became more popular then maybe I could hone that skill.

I've raised dozens of dogs, and like humans, some need some coaching about good behavior and some get along just fine without ever needing discipline. That's a separate issue from the one I raised, namely that animals display spec

It's not quite what you're looking for, but animals have at least been shown to exhibit preference of what species animals they will eat. Consider a dog which has been raised around cats, which might hunt a rabbit but not another

Only if you have a sufficient length of n.

But 10% of 100 is magnitudes different from 10% of 10,000. The smaller the length, the more each percent (in terms of entropy) matters when we're talking about complexity as a function of brute force time.

I'm confused about how that has anything to do with disproving my conjecture that whether whether providing your length is a tangible security leak or not is essentially a function of the size of your character pool, because if your p

A 25% speed boost is what I would call a significant percentage. Especially at 60 characters. My statement holds up.

That's not shameful. What's shameful is that we decided that it was OK to let AIDS run rampant since it only affected homosexuals.

His family didn't want it to be public for a long time in order to avoid the stigma. Eventually, hearts changed, and it was decided it would be a powerful statement to come forth with the details surrounding his death.

Well I was referring to the intersection between the two. Out of all of the potential people to see OP's post here, there is a much higher likelihood of at least one of them containing both the skillset and the motivation required to e

Gotcha. I guess I was unclear about what "almost as secure" meant in this context. So whether providing your length is a tangible security leak or not is essentially a function of the size of your character pool, because if your p

Telling someone your password is 8 characters long and memorable vs telling them it is 8192 characters long and unrecallable are two entirely different things.

I'm willing to believe that if you could help me understand a bit more why that is so.

Even if you've provided information which narrows your password down to ~5,000 possible values, you've effectively handed out your password to one of 5,000 internet strangers whom you will never meet in real life. Then consider th

Sounds like an issue with Chrome, then. The OS handles its own state. That should be invisible to applications. Applications handle their own state. That should be invisible to the OS. As I said, Firefox offers a choice to restore or discar
