[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;41949728]My password would be cracked instantly it says. Not like anyone has cracked it yet. Maybe I'm just a computer user who isn't dumb as fuck[/QUOTE]
is it 1234?
[QUOTE=FlamingBlizza;41947048]I never liked CNET.[/QUOTE]
it's funny because when i tried to download the malewarebytes free verison it took to me CNET. :(
It's a fucking 2010 worm...
Uninstall that free crap antivirus and get a better firewall/av software (not free ofc).
Unless you're still using Windows ME :D

Huh, Well maybe it's about time i consider a more secure password.
[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;41951421]Yeah, why are they even still trying this shit while steamguard exists

Also those links I posted were mainly for email passwords to keep steamguard working well

And as long as we scan every file we download for viruses, we'll be fine, right?[/QUOTE]
Because some people are stupid and disable Steamguard.
[QUOTE=DigitalySane;41943721]Guess I should turn steamguard back on even though its annoying as fuck.[/QUOTE]
Never even noticed it was on, so I can only wonder how do you find it annoying.

I am relieved[/QUOTE]
I hope you realize that you just compromised your security by entering your password into some random internet site?

I hope you realize that it's possible to check whether a website sends information anywhere?
[editline]25th August 2013[/editline]
And the fact that you haven't heard of it before doesn't necessarily mean it's "some random internet site".

No average user will bother checking that though - it's just best practice to tell them to never give out their passwords

Snipped the "Make something idiot proof, and someone will find a better idiot"-thing, i felt like it didn't really fit in that context[/I]
[QUOTE=Usernameztaken;41946439]Apparantly a password of AAAAAAAAAA would take 19 years to crack.
Hmm...[/QUOTE]
Yup. It would take 19 years with a naive brute force algorithm that goes through all one-character passwords, then all two-character, then all three-character, etc. But, that site is not accounting for the fact that it's probably on a word list, or some brute force algorithms do a mix of depth-first and breadth-first search.
EDIT: Also, if the password has is unsalted, then it could be cracked in a matter of seconds using rainbow tables. It'll only take 19 years if the hash is salted and the attacker is only using naive brute force.
EDIT2: That's weird. If you type 13 A's into the site, it gives the "19 years" figure. But when you copy the password from the site and paste it, it magically only has 10 A's.
Depends on how the password is stored. With MD5, it'd take a desktop computer a few days. SHA1, weeks probably, BCrypt, a long long time. However, BCrypt has the vulnerability of quantum computers.
