Top Ten Passwords

See Here[^] I have actually banned PASSWORD from being a password. I assign all members of staff with their passwords, an example would be "Dav456id" or "Col573ette" these are safer than "Gandalf" (Which actually IS a Password on my machine for a specific purpose! Guilty As Charged Your Honour).

I was helping man the phones when a major push went out recently. I share the cubicle with another intern. She said that night she had a dream where I kept telling her that her new password was Password and that she had to change it when she logged in for safety reasons. Every now and then she'll look at me, giggle and start reciting how to change the password. She's never had to touch the program but can change her password in it in her sleep now...

My passwords are more likely to include profanities, as I discover yet another different password that I need with yet another different set of restrictions on what you can use...

Probably stronger than 99.9% of passwords out there given that sample data from the telegraph :) But like I said also, it's easy for me to remember. Out of interest, how strong does it get assuming I repeat the pattern again? So 14 chars, but there would never be repitition of a char or digit.

You'd double the number of bits, and each bit doubles the size of the search space. The problem you'd run into is a number of sites won't let you use a password that long (OTOH one of my banks insists on a 14 char password).
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

I think you meant " a classic music question". I don't think either Elvis or the Beatles were exactly famous for their classical music[^]

If the password hash stored is 256-bit (16 byte) (like MD5) each password except one with number of characters between 1-15 has a tween hash into 16 character password. That means 16-char password may have the security of 6 chars (even the same hash as 123456 :laugh: ). If you increase the num of characters you get even more collusions. BTW password I use for codeproject is 4% strong according to this[^]. :^)

Note: No special characters in those passwords. Hackers, begin your work... :)

I usually run with a combination of size and character selections. Taking the "Gandalf" as an example mine would be: G@nd@lfTh3Wh1t3 other exampleas: >> C0rl3773Surn@m3 >> D@v1d$urn@m3 >> MyPuppy1$Qu173 stuff like that :) My standard types consist of 12+ length, 2 caps, 6 small 2special and rest numbers, all thrown together adhering to a certain "writing-layout" rule(s) I decided on.
