Hi Jow Forums

>she doesn't type in 32 w's for all passwords

Considering that the largest rainbow tables so far go up to 12 characters, the best idea is to go longer the better. 15 is a good length since those won't be pre computed for a while, and MAYBE fucking Microsoft will learn how to salt by then.

>As of October 12, 2011, distributed.net estimates that cracking a 72-bit key using current hardware will take about 45,579 days or 124.8 years.
If you use a random password where each keyboard key is possible (i.e. #en\rA{c~) then you would need 12 characters to get to 72 bits of entropy.
Note that "#en\rA{c~e8i" is not the same as "cvnnylvr123@"

As long as the form allows. If there is no limit or you have to keep it in the head and type manually, I go for 20+ characters.

about three fiddy

underrated

As long as it needs to be to reach 512 bits of entropy.

50 bits at minimum, 120 bits for secure, 250 bits for overkill

epic reply

The entire energy of the sun fed to a perfectly efficient computer can crack up to like 220bits IIRC. 256 is therefore in the upper limits of the computational capacity of the universe.

>uses nonsensical metric
>assumes classical computation
If you want your password to stay safe during your entire lifetime, you'd better make it 512 bits of entropy.

nice

For something you're going to remember, >=12 characters with letters, numbers and symbols is OK. Ideally you should be using a password manager.

> uses nonsensical metric
There's nothing nonsensical about it. That said, I looked it up again and apparently Landauer's principle may not hold after all, in which case everything I said was wrong.

>cracked in less than 30 seconds using a baton
lmao nice password there

Use a password manager.

You're using Landauer's principle in a nonsensical way, that's why it's a nonsensical metric.

cowabunga, thats deep man

I use a 37 long password for my keepass file and then create passwords as long as the site permits
Use 2 step auth when possible and you should be good to go...

I use a 28 letter password with symbols, numbers, upper and lower case letters. I think it’s pretty safe.

>using anything with less than 2048 characters as your password
Absolutely disgusting.

>hacker proof

Well as long as the website’s security itself isn’t fucked

7 letters. hunter2. never been hacked.

Whose was that again

3.14159 dwords long

next time google it.

Dam, this might have been too savage. It's as if a semi just struck a school bus full of children going downhill at 90 mph with that can't brake.

how will he ever recover from this

You don't want it to be too strong. You are not hiding anything are you.

24 characters that are sufficiently complex

30 characters, just make up some words, but make sure they're nonexistent by googling them, so you're protected by rainbow table attacks.
They should be easily pronouncable so it's easy to remember.
Make this your master password, and use unique randomly generated 20+ lenght passwords everywhere with a password manager, also use 2fa for the password manager.

Have a backup for the 2fa and the master password too.

protected for life

Four random words, with a letter replaced by a number here and there, is strong enough that no computer will crack it within your lifetime.

That's the formula, youngfags.

I use a diceware-like approach with a different but much larger dictionary
