Now that's what I call a safe password

Note that the number of required characters changes from 17,145 to 18,770 with the installation of SP1. Well, it's good to see that Microsoft is doing what they can to encourage better security with SP1! :-D Sometimes I feel like I'm a USB printer in a parallel universe.

Wow. Now I know why everybody says Kerberos is very resistant to dictionary hacking. With 18770 characters for a password, that's a lot of combinations. ;P Chris Meech We're more like a hobbiest in a Home Depot drooling at all the shiny power tools, rather than a craftsman that makes the chair to an exacting level of comfort by measuring the customer's butt. Marc Clifton VB is like a toolbox, in the hands of a craftsman, you can end up with some amazing stuff, but without the skills to use it right you end up with Homer Simpson's attempt at building a barbeque or his attempt at a Spice rack.

Run this code and you'll get a new, suitable password on the Clipboard: :-D
using System;
public class MyClass
{
public static void Main()
{
System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(new string('x', 18770), true);
}
}Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

I keep forgetting what to type next after about 14,000 characters!

The length or complexity of the password is a fallacy. There is also Tempest technology that can read anything you put on your monitor and captures your keystrokes. http://slashdot.org/articles/01/07/29/148201.shtml
