Are people named Ashley and Michael really using their own names as passwords? Or is it girls who fancy guys with that name? So either they are really dumb or really hot....

It could be the best or worst name for your kid.

My gf's password is her first name and her full phone number.


Unbelievable, Geoff.

Apparently a longer password is better than a complex one. So ireallylikepoptartsido is better than Sv_tU%# . Something to do with the hack bots not recognising words, Also it's easier to remember/type.

nope, the first password exampel there is actualy easier to crack as itd use a dictionary attack method,itd compare it against a godforsakenly huge txt file of words from the dictionary.
the other uses blind brute force,even though its shorter its actualy a lot more difficult to crack and woud take a very,very,very long time,unless the person was amazingly overcome with desperation to get into the account-they woud not leave their computer on for the length oftime itd need to crack that.

the best password to use is one which includes a bit of everything,capitals, lowercase,special characters,numbers etc-for the best security dont use any words in it or birth dates and with websites which ask for special questions for passwords to be resent/reminders, spoil the answers with a complex list of crap because people can easily d0x or socialy engineer the answers out of a person without them realising.
-am a half arsd hobby hacker/penetration tester,against blackhatism though.

I never remember passwords for infrequently used sites, I just hit the "reset my password" button,

Wait for the reset email and go to the site, shove in a random text string and log in.

A few weeks/months later I repeat the process
