@Tutanota@mastodon.social well some websites don’t allow passwords longer than 16. We’re doomed
@Tutanota@mastodon.social all randomly generated through Vaultwarden/Bitwarden, as long as the service will allow.
@Tutanota@mastodon.social The graphic does not do justice to the increase in strength of passwords against brute-force attacks with every additional character. For those wondering have some fun at Steve Gibson's password haystack @SGgrc@infosec.exchange
@Tutanota@mastodon.social wouldn't be very strong a lot faster using non latin words ? Like a mix of kanji ; there are thousand of them after all ? A 4 kanji password feels stronger than any a 20 words with special charas. (but I didn't do the math)
@Tutanota@mastodon.social Yes, using the same password is worse, like mine must change from Trump$ucks to something longer.
@Tutanota@mastodon.social Excellent!
I'll be sure to use
6f5Y!c231"8gC-ugg8'7
for my next password!
Thx for the tip!

@Tutanota@mastodon.social As of 2025-01-08T14.48+02:00, all of these passwords are unsafe haha

Normalize extended ASCII
And 128+ long passwords
If you use a password manager (which you should)
There's no reason not to make it as complex as you can
