websites password requirements
    #26198231 - 09/19/19 08:02 PM (4 years, 4 months ago)

Some website these days try to hold your hand while creating a password, I really hate it, its usually

1 uppercase letter
1 symbol
1 number

and some times

8-20 characters

symbols and numbers I dont mind, I can remember them just fine, but the uppercase letter really pisses me of, I have trouble remembering the uppercase letter so I just put it as the first one if im forced too, and I think a lot of people do the same, so if you do only put it as the first letter it dosnt really add any security cause it will be like the first thing a black hat will try to change around

the 20 character maximum pisses me off too, if there is one, because for me its easier to remember a strong long pass phrase then to remember a 8 letter strong password

I like to use passphrases, I still remember ones I dont use anymore, like before I fried my macbook air, the encryption password was

maggie&blu3likesduckpo0to0!

no body could brute force that and I doubt a rainbow table would help either, I can remember it because maggie and blue are my dogs, and we had ducklings in the front yard when I made it and they would huddle on the porch at night and shit all over it

another password I dont want to give away cause its still the password to one of my emails is 21 characters long and its a mix of a sign I stole from the city of toronto as a kid, I started the password off with the first letters of each word on the sign, then the last name of a celebrity calendar my gf put up and a advertisement sign I found in a snowbank that says "coffee have it your way", and I wrote the type of coffee the pic on the sign shows, with some signs  and numbers mixed in that

and some passwords I dont even care if hey get guessed, so in that case why bother even using a strong password, for a few months I had my reddit username and password the same, I dont really give a fuck if my reddit gets compromised

It just really bothers me that they think there password policy is really strong, people will just capitalize the first letter and add a number on the end, and it screws me out of using a password I know is strong because it dosnt meet their criteria

I usually just generate a random password with a quick Python script. I don't bother memorizing them.

Something like this:

Code:
from string import ascii_letters, digits
from random import choice
print("".join(choice(ascii_letters+digits) for _ in range(20)))

Password maximums are unsafe and should be banned. Within reason of course. 256 characters should probably be the minimum cap allowed. 20 is too few.

Of course, even better than strong passwords is strong 2FA, or even 3FA.

I just grab a random part of one of the urls open in a tab and use that as a password, then use a password manager to remember them.

I've got a solid mnemonic password for work as I'm a sysadmin, but I can't be stuffed creating all these patterns in my head for every joe, dick and harry who insist u need to create an account just to use their site.
