Strong password related stuff
So what the internet is saying "have a strong password" make your password random, make it long and unique" all that shi
Well from what i currently understand, all this does is essentially make it less likely to be bruteforced, but i dont think that is a direct definition of being safe , being safe can be conducted by eg 2fa or not throwing your passwords on random websites. Do correct me if im wrong but i think the knowledge of strong password doesnt = safe should be spread around if it hasn't already.

Well part of this just came from this funny video that i saw 2 minutes ago about "how strong is your password" and continues on demonstrating random shi
anything unique and reasonably long like 12 chars is mostly safe from brute forcing
the thing about passwords is also that leaked databases may contain the hashes
So basically ensuring a password is safe should be to encourage people to change their passwords actively as well as including 2fa, having a decently unguessable password, not dumping it into random websites.
Anyways, just a quick convo i thought everyone should be in mind of. Have a great day yall
me personally i just generate passwords
but i never change them lol
I have around 10 sets of passwords that i rotate around most are about 16digits, that are reasonably familiar to memorize, for me personally, i cant keep track of generated passwords, well thats just me ofc
i use a password manager so
btw recently i found this
basically just deterministic password generation
you can set salt too
it might be the next password solution for me
This is a really smart way ig, although i'd be sticking to memorizing passwords for another decade or something like that, ive got this issue for needing to log other devices quite often, incognito mode ofc. Which i dont think a password manager or this sort would be the ideal solution for now. Thanks for this tho
yeb
my master password is 32 chars long which after manually typing few dozen times i think ive memorised it alr lol
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
just use a password manager, host it locally even
my master password is 40+ characters long because it's not randomly generated
I will try to write a story next time for my password 🤣
that's a different recommendation you can go with, try doing a password where the password itself is a passphrase, so a short personal story
Bro literally read my mind
Well i mean
Logically this is useful for most cases, but i need to login to multiple different devices for some time and I don't think opening up my password manager is all that convenient if you'd ask me
Which is quite sad for my case
:(
i use lastpass and honestly it's not that bad
you get used to it :VicePray:

Yes, a weak password is just one possible failure point of many. Reinforcing one possible failure point doesn't prevent the harm caused by neglecting others.
Honestly passwords SUCK. Passwords ROYALLY SUCK. In fact, passwords shouldn't exist at all. You should consider implementing something like SQRL from https://www.grc.com/sqrl/userview.htm. Just get rid of the passwords entirely, because you are absolutely correct, they are inherently attackable, regardless of their strength.
got hacked in 2023 dont trust em
Its not very "optimal", ideally you should not passwords for most things. but if you do this is a ok way to do it
