That wide-eyed, fearful 1k yard stare is the current face of cyber security
Password Strength: Medium
✅ More than 8 characters
✅ At least one number
❌ At least one special character
❌ At least one capital letter
The thing is, nobody knows if you write a special character or not. They might try to brute force passwords without first. But the way more important factor is length.
Just 5 random words and you are fine
When I wasnt using a password manager for password creation I just did random sentences that were not allowed to have meaning. They were quite easy to memorize because they were so absurd. Usual password check would be 3 trillion trillion years or something.
I have a LUKS pw like that. I just add some words over time, when the beginning is muscle memory
What passwords managers don’t want you to know
You could probably write a Hashcat plugin to brute force that pretty easily. Something that tries groupings of keys that are adjacent to one another on qwerty keyboard layouts.
my cat will sometimes put his paws on the left-shit, left-control, caps lock, tab, and the other buttons on that side.
and sometimes when I’m up late at night, I don’t realize that I was typing in caps
There’s no capital letter so it’s invalid.
