Do you use MS Edge? I found it's secrets
-
I wrote a program that watches the files which are created, updated, deleted, etc on your disk (Read about it here on CP[^]). Wow, that was gratuitous self-promotion and it didn't even feel like it. :laugh: Anyways, I had DiscoFiles running and I noticed that MS Edge directories were accessed. MS Edge Secrets I looked in this MS Edge directory and found its secrets... You can get to it on your system (If you are running Edge) at:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\ZxcvbnData\3.0.0.0
I mean I'm assuming that last directory will be named ZxcvbnData on yours too?? Copy-Paste to your FileExplorer and it'll get you there. You can see that there[^]. It's a list of files named:
english_wikipedia.txt
female_names.txt
male_names.txt
manifest.fingerprint
manifest.json
passwords.txt
surnames.txt
us_tv_and_film.txtWhat!?! Well, passwords is a lot of fun. Check it out. FYI - the passwords file is 30,000 lines long (30,000 common / bad passwords)

OpenVMS also has a list of words/names which aren't allowed to be passwords. While going through it many years ago I noticed a few LOTR references. I also noticed the absence of a particularly offensive word -- I suppose it's so offensive that they didn't want to risk having it anywhere on the system. I may need to add the file you mention to my database of word lists.

What do you think about the surnames.txt? My surname is not in the list so I guess I'm safe. :) Seriously, though, are last names used in some type of hack? Well, i guess everything is, but didn't know surnames had some kind of special thing associated with them.

I know. And some of the common (and filthy) ones are shocking. Shocking that many "12yr old boy" minds think of such stupid things. :laugh: Do not search thru them with the text "lick"! Troll....all you guys are doing that now. :laugh:

I first learned of the list in VMS because a manager where I was working at the time (1990) wanted to set his password to "ORANGE". :sigh: At a later job, I extracted the four- and five-letter words, cleansed the result, and used them to form pairs to be used as passwords. A precedent had been set to make passwords such as HOUSE$BOAT, and I wanted to automate/randomize it. As a note to the newbs, passwords in OpenVMS (and other proper operating systems) are not case-sensitive because not all terminals support lower-case.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

>64 Some days the dragon wins. Suck it up.
I actually use FireFox & Brave and I'm almost as completely agnostic to browsers these days. I discovered this when i was running on a work win10 VM which requires us to use MS Edge. I'm basically agnostic to OSes too, since I run Ubuntu 22.04 desktop to connect to work VMs (win10) and I KVM switch to my MacOS Mac Mini M1. :)

For some reason I have to, to view MS documentation on my desktop - the site doesn't work in Chrome (but it works fine on my Surface). Probably a config issue, but gawd knows where ...

I think most of use whatever we got used to, I have used Brave (on my Debian system) and sometimes Vivaldi. I lied somewhat, I have to use Edge when I connect (VPN) to the client;s systems, that is what they have. Herself uses Safari on her MBP. Not aware that it is a browser, it is gmail.

I have this horrible feeling there's this whole dark and raging qwerty vs zxcvbn thing going on that I'm unaware of.

I remember reading that 123456 is the most common password found in pwned databases. So I suspect that passwords.txt is the top 30,000 in order at the time it was created!
