How many characters are your passwords on average? I usually

NO TALENT

9-16

>>56751449
Depends on the site limit, If 20 characters are allowed I use 20 characters, if 6 char. are available i use 6. This also depends on the site allowing special char. and other variation.

I HAVE A DEGREE

>>56751449
My master password for all passwords is 61 characters. Though, I've memorized many of them already.

Like 10

How hard would it be really to crack a 15 characters password ? Is it really worth it to go beyond this range of 15-20 characters ?

>>56751470
Same here

4 characters

I randomly pick a Unicode block, then a random Unicode character. Repeat three more times, making sure the same Unicode block can only be chosen once. Never had my password cracked even if some websites I use have had their database leaked. I do not think even NSA bothers to use the full Unicode block for bruteforcing.

Another NSA data mining thread.

6. Will go lower whenever possible

>>56751584
Are we talking about brute forcing? Because if so I imagine a 15 character password is virtually impossible crack via brute force. The number of combinations is too large for most modern computers.

It doesn't matter fucking idiot, your password is stored in a fixed-length hash no matter how long your plain password is.

>>56751898
There are other advantages to a long password besides protection from bruteforcing ?
I mean I think the quality key generated from your password or whatever does not so much depend on your password or its length does it ?

(complete dummy in encryption technology)

>>56751449
Depends.
I have some 6-11 character password I use on sides where i don't give a shit.

On my e-mail accounts I use unique passwords of between 16 and 24 characters lengths.

>>56752042
>bruteforcing
this can't be done in 2016, most servers and all big companies use throttling and/or captcha which prevent brute forcing.

>>56751449
8 to 16.

I usually have passwords like

'Ilikedogs' or "ireallylikedogs"

Easy to remember and hardly crackeable by usual means

>>56752056
Just thinking, what does it matter if the websites data has been leaked and your super long, super unique pw has gone public? Imo far better approach to the threats nowadays is having your pw changed very often and never repeating it / not using any simple conditions. I.e. my passwords are unique to each website, but I use a fairly easy base for each of them (like, 123websitesname456)

The strongest, at the moment. Worryingly, the US had banned exports of any CPUs to China so they made their own CPU design to smashe the world record and take the title.

Nine letters, i usually replace the "s" with a dollar sign to prevent getting hacked.

>>56751655
Most sites will either reject it or fuck up the encoding so you password is actually just 8cm4 or something.

You dumb fuck, nobody bruteforces shit with a desktop cpu. You use a pair of sli'd cards with a cuda enabled software cracker and it can try like 100billion combos per second. I remember cracking a 10 character pw with a shit tier gpu in 12 minutes. I cant imagine how many passwords some chinese neckbeard with a horde of nvidia space heaters in his garage can crack in exchange for a bitcoin and a futanari kotaku horse cock motoko hiroshima body pillow.

>>56751898
Nobody does brute force in the real world

In the real world, you use wordlists and permutations thereof

>>56751449
my strong password consists of 33 char

generic shit password (for non important) consists of 12 char

super useless pass consists of 6-8 char

>>56751449
>How many characters are your passwords on average? I usually go for 32 or more.
nice try nsa...

Like 50-100 on some sites, up to 3*10^7 on others.

There's no point having a password longer than the thing it's hashed into, entropically.
