WARNING: You have been hacked!

[Maxhead]

LOL, sooo how secure is your password??

Just seen a story on Sunrise regarding security, so I googled and found this:)

https://howsecureismypassword.net/

Interestingly enough, when I added a smiley face characters : ) to the end of my password it went from 15 hours to hack to 526 years...LOL

[AB]

37 years for me :)

[MudRunnerTD]

11 minutes

[Bob]

96 Years.............

I don't use this Password but it is

Grady<1942

Now that is not a very secure Password as Grady is my surname and 1942 is the Year I was born.
A Hacker should not have that much trouble cracking that if he had some knowledge about me

[my third 256]

158 years for me

I initially thought it could be a collector, then it would have to download a login/keystroke virus, then id your accounts, etc....

[RubberDuckieGQ]

I have two passwords: 11mins, and for the other 39 days
So neither very good! :/

[Agronaught]

I highly recommend people look at a password manager like last pass. I use it for all sites and it integrates with the browser on all platforms, although iOS is not as capable as other options.

This solution generates very strong passwords for all sites. All you need to do is remember the master password. In the case of last pass I also use a USB/NFC key as an extra level of security that works nicely with android devices.

I changed to using this solution after having passwords stolen from commercial sites (ie Adobe) and then having to change that password at dozens of sites.

An example password is:

7Pq%oXN8%#$URRTZ6z2oE*BffZ0K

Cracking this password simply isn't feasible.

There are a few options out there that work well.


If you use Google for mail, enable their two factor authentication.


I highly recommend using one of these solutions as password theft is becoming a bigger problem.

[Ben-e-boy]

My password for this site is 0.5 seconds hahahahahah

I haven't tried it so I may be way wrong on how it works but is it;

Step 1 - Go to a web page which now knows your IP address
Step 2 - Enter your passwords, existing or potential, for assessment

Uummmmm, think I'll pass on that

[Family4x4]

instantly :(

Yea i thought the same so I put in something close to mine and tried it out, I think its a load of crap IMO


If I put in the letter r its 0.0000000065 seconds but rrrr is instantly ..

[2TROLLFAM]

3hrs for the password I use on work stuff and 15mins for PERSONSL one

Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

[macca86]

Just typed bitchesbecraycray and got 8 million years!
Not my password but true story

[megatexture]

It would be funny if all the people that enter there real passwords gets hacked

[NissanGQ4.2]

I'm not even going to try my password but just think this is supposedly based on a desktop PC and your average cyber crim ain't using no normal desktop PC

If your gonna get hacked your gonna get hacked simple as that

[NissanGQ4.2]

I highly recommend people look at a password manager like last pass. I use it for all sites and it integrates with the browser on all platforms, although iOS is not as capable as other options.


But doesn't it also save all your passwords for all sites? Is the passwords encrypted when saved? Whats stopping someone accessing your password manager then having full access to all your sites passwords?

[Agronaught]

The password data is encrypted. Providing your master password is appropriately complex it is a more secure solution than that used by most people.

The fact is I don't know the password I use for almost every site as i don't need to.

Another benefit is I occasionally print the password data so my wife can access it should I not be around. This is important as it can be extremely difficult to remove a relative from public sites (Facebook etc) after their death.
