Author Topic: How secure is your password?  (Read 10774 times)

I didn't enter my most common passwords here. Pretty decent site. I tend to do well with this kind of thing.
What I was careful to do was to create something out of words that would make sense to me but not to any other people, so that if the algorithm tries combinations of words, it won't get it. Additionally, it's long enough to be reasonably secure.
I had to work pretty hard to think of something like this because I tend to have difficulty remembering arbitrary words or phrases.

What if this site stores your password in a mysql database
it doesn't

If you think trusting anyone with your password is safe, you deserve to be hacked

I put in a bunch of A's, it claims it'll take infinite years

it doesn't
how does it knows my password is "in the top 5190 most used passwords?"

wait nvm, site says: "Top 10,000 Passwords by Xato" sorry about that

does anyone here even do this?..

HttpFox didn't pick up on any traffic after loading the webpage.

none of this makes the worst case any worse? what you're saying would just make it slower
I mean worst case from the perspective of the person using the password
My point is that 4 billion is beyond unobtainable.
The 4 billion figure is just an arbitrarily chosen extremely high number, not any type of actual "case"


does anyone here even do this?..
Try spending some time on a free to play MMO.
It's stupid the amount of people getting "hacked" because they gave their online BF/GF their password

well he's not wrong
I mean I saw this thread and instantly thought "wow input your password into a site and it tells you how strong it is, totally not a plot right?"

I thought it too but shrugged it off

Lets say it does save your password somehow. How does it know what my usernames are, or, what username for what site the password is for?
and then let's say

does it access my phone to verify? because all of the IMPORTANT services use this

Sure just click a link on a forum, letting them know where you came from via referral, then enter your password.  What could go wrong.  You guys are geniuses. 
thankfully all i did was put in a few §§§§s and spammed in gibberish to see how far up they'd go!!!!!
