Not sure about a dictionary attack. If you have four words separated by underscores and a dictionary of eighty thousand words, you'd need to match every first word with 80,000 second words, and that combination has to be matched with 80,000 third words. 80,000⁴ is 4,096×10¹⁹, and at one thousand words per second, it would take 1.299 billion years to crack. And the words in my password are most definitely not in a small dictionary.
Funny to see one of my old passwords up there :| i feel stupid now.
You should feel stupid
Is it bad I used monkey as a password for a while later changed of course
My password is a 15 symbols long mish-mash of upper and lower case letters, number and symbols and I remember it without any fancy programs :colbert:

I think from now on, I'll start using the same passwords I have now. Except backwards.
My password is usually a word i make up in my head but sounds like a word you would think is real.
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;33371002]That's even worse than the shit Iceland comes up with.[/QUOTE] To be fair, an American came up with it.
Why is "Passw0rd" there but not "Password"?
[QUOTE=Aredbomb;33389845]Why is "Passw0rd" there but not "Password"?[/QUOTE] Because dumb people have been informed that numbers could do well in their passwords.
[QUOTE=Aredbomb;33389845]Why is "Passw0rd" there but not "Password"?[/QUOTE] Number 1, right next to "Here is the complete list"
If you are still using password as a password after the late 90's i'm surprised you have a computer to enter it into let alone a bank account.
yeh because hackers steal your physical computer right design a program that auto executes and sends it walking right out the door
my old pass was pbItIlAb popping bottles in the ice like a blizzard
I just let cat /dev/urandom > password run for a few seconds and use that.
I use random assortments of letters and numbers, E.G. Jab3i6lc Oh yeah, i also sometimes use my school passwords, Like my old one, Techy@87, or Litho@95. Stuff like that.

[QUOTE=Cl0cK;33392023]0451[/QUOTE] That's my ipod unlock code.
My passwords are generated via LastPass, but my phone lock code is a person's name converted to numbers with a 4 digit pin at the end.
[QUOTE=Swilly;33372142]And Wrong.[/QUOTE] If you use the most common words, yes. But using a more obscure word or a foreign word would make it much more secure immediately.

Bet you didn't think of this; when signing in, type your username and then drag the icon of whatever website you're at into the password box; all the random code crap goes in, IMPOSSIBLE TO CRACK!!
[QUOTE=SNNS-SEAN;33397107][img]http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/password_strength.png[/img][/QUOTE] And for the thousandth time here's the xkcd on passwords
When I worked in IT support I was connected remotely to a users PC and he typed his password then clicked the "show characters" tick box, I almost burst out laughing how bad it was. It was just Password1
I'm surprised "penis" isn't on the list.
