[@_Lumiere_]

That's pretty good for its length, it nets you about 70 bits of entropy. But all you need to do is remember 4 unorthodox words, like made up names from obscure literature mixed with some uncommon dictionary words. 4 words are easy to remember. Then add some numbers, maybe divide them with some symbols or split the words themselves with symbols. This gets you above 100 entropy, which is classified as "excellent" on keepass. And it's just 4 words to remember with some numbers.

One of mine is a combination of English, Spanish and Nahuatl (Aztec language) words. It sounds complicated but if you grew up in Central Mexico, like me, it's not hard to remember.

[@MasterHigure]

I'm a bit late to the party here, but... Even common words work if you just use a couple more. A single new common word added to your password, according to your metric, increases the cracking time by a factor of 10 000, assuming secure hashing. I'd say that's about the same as changing from common words to uncommon words (from 10k dictionary to 100k seems reasonable). Even six common words is not that difficult to remember, and it's a hundred million times harder to guess than four common words. I personally used diceware to choose my master password's six words (plus one random obfuscating symbol somewhere in there). My password is basically 32 die throws (over 82 bits of entropy) in a row (I actually used a real die here), encoded in a way that's pretty darn easy to remember. Yeah, the diceware dictionary has a little less than 10 000 words in it, but since I have six of them that doesn't really matter. Mathematically, increasing the exponent generally trumps increasing the base.

[@ChaceBonanno]

Use a key file and/or security key to secure the database with 2FA. Then encrypt and backup the key file in case you need to access the database without the security key. Also could encrypt and backup the seed to the security key challenge-response so that you can recreate the key if you lose it or break it. Then use a separate database to create a strong master password for the main database. A hacker would need your master database, then get either the key file or seed backup and decrypt it, then your other database and password to that database in order to get the password for the master database. It’s kinda redundant but it’s like locking a key in a safe and locking that safe’s key in a safe.

[@Kaiyats]

Not really convenient it works if you’re securing extremely sensitive content but this is a bit over kill for normal people

[@kmmmsyr9883]

I think it would be a good idea to select words from multiple languages, as in "libertatum jahannam beylerbeyi vodka sushi" the cracker would need 5 dictionaries for 5 different, unrelated languages. Most people don't know multiple languages, but you probably know at least a few words from other languages. I don't know Arabic, Latin, Russian or Japanese, but I could come up with these words.

[@Ken.-]

They're not cracking it by hand. They don't need to actually know the languages.

Dumb question: If I speak multiple languages, would using words/phrases/symbols from each be more secure? I'd assume hackers aren't all native english speaking only. But on the contrary I've done something similar to that and some websites won't let me back in because their backend doesn't know how to handle such symbols I'm guessing.

[@SpenceChrisEd]

It would be incredibly difficult if your using different languages especially if the language has specific characters but lots of websites are probably still legacy and don't respect all of utf-8 or just have terrible backends to deal with your extra characters

i guess i just have a good memory because for passwords/phrases I really need to be secure I dont follow any guideline I just literally randomly mash the keyboard for a good 20 or so characters and then permanently memorize the result on the spot, and type it from memory every time I have to use it again. The longest one I've used was 36 random alphanumeric characters, but I think that's really overkill. I never store or write this I only memorize, even though I change them relatively often as well I usually remember all of them for years after I replaced them. a few times i have had to think for a minute for some but I have never forgotten any when I needed them.

7:50 the password is good, even against dictionary attacks with the attacker knowing the exact word count! There are like 10^3 common words and those are four random words which means that there is 10^12 possible passwords (= 40 bits of entropy). Since your password manager you use uses argon2 (< 100 hash/second if configured properly) there is no way that anyone will crack it ever.

The worst thing about "how to make a password" video is that it also feeds into password cracking dictionaries. Still, this video is pretty good for at least introducing the idea of "making up your own word." What are people's thoughts on even a slight marrying the two concepts? The one thing that always bothers me about the correcthorsebatterystaple is that it doesn't even try to use caps or punctuation. "Correct horse, battery: staple." requires little mental effort to manipulate and yet can deter a dictionary attack by chance in case they hadn't accounted for extra characters. Technically it's not 10,000 ^ 4 as so much as now 20,000^4*(50? 100? Whatever the size of the padding characters could be)^4 at least.

[@AkaiKnight]

I had a question about password cracking attacks. If I as a web developer implement attempt limits on my sign in, doesn't that eliminate a hackers ability to do a dictionary attack or brute force it? After X number of attempts the account becomes locked, so not only can they no longer make any more attempts to login, but it won't matter if they do some kind of ip spoofing to "reset" their attempts, because the account internally will be locked until the true user goes through an authorization unlocking process.

[@unjumbledfilm6466]

Brute-forcing usually means that a hacker has already obtained the hashed passwords and has them in their possession (through leaks ect.)

[@wrockd]

@@unjumbledfilm6466 Not Really, Brute-Force is just a term, what you're talking about happens after a Service is Compromised and the Password DB is leaked. Even after that it's not really Viable to Brute-Force the Hashes. MD5 is Vulnerable to Brute-Force but it's been kicked out of the hashing standards a long time ago and the newer ones WHIRPOOL, RIPEMD, SHA2 and SHA3 are pretty much useless to Brute-Force(taking a random string > hashing > compare to the original hash) also most of the Services Salt and then hash the password making it pretty much impossible. What the OP is talking about is something more of a attack on a Targeted User rather than the whole Service. It Uses automated tools to try to Brute-Force the password of a particular user using the Service's login system itself.

[@wrockd]

Theoretically it will prevent any Kind of Brute-Force/Dict attack. But it has a huge Flaw, Let's say I'm a 4ttacker, and my target is User "X', What I'll do is that I'm gonna trip the login attempt threshold till X's account gets locked. Now user X will have to do the Authorisation process to get his account back. But as soon as the account gets Unlocked I'll trip it again. And this will continue.

[@wrockd]

Now using some Simple 5cripting skills anyone can make a 5cript that'll do this automatically on either a Single User or Multiple Users at once making their accounts Inaccessible and by Using either some VPN or Proxy, Unless you have Cloudflare or some similar 5ervice In which Case using Botnets or Hardened RDP Servers, Anyone can launch a Service Wide 4ttack Which could make your 5ervice Inaccessible to any User(Unless you don't have a Client Side Username Check, In which case a 5ervice Wide 4ttack will be kind of Infeasible). But still, you get the Idea.

[@Sk0lzky]

Pins are usually up to 8 symbols and can't be brute forced because of secondary security measures (limited attempts). Use mnemonics or some dates which aren't directly related to you or your family but are of some interest (fall of Constantinople, hour at which polish pope died, 14 words, 88). Can also swap numbers around and use the rhythm/rhymes to remember them. Fingerprint is fucking satanic and just don't use it on anything important ever, especially the phone (you can source the fp from the very fp reader, what's the point xD), even a child can copy it. Well ok, you can use it as like a first layer or something but defo not the sole protection like some bank apps allow you to. Fun fact: during HK protests most of the telegram groups infiltrated by the police were simply accessed using fingerprints. The law forbids them from forcing you to unlock your devices but why bother forcing when you have the key in your hand. As to face - it's not great either (social media, physical observation, modelling from memory, physical capture) but definitely better than the former. Hope I helped

I don't have TikTok installed on my phone but I've recently learned that it saves your clipboard every couple of seconds (even in the background) afaik there's nothing stopping other apps from doing so also. Is it wise to split your accounts in two .kbdx files? i.e. for life-ruining and everything else. Maybe even append a string to the passwords so that if your clipboard gets stolen it doesn't have the string needed to crack your pw.

[@bitnatures]

As far as I know, with Wayland it's a lot harder for a rogue keylogger to exist in userland (non-root), but with Xorg it's free real estate. GL tho, you kinda are already screwed once a program infiltrates your computer. By then you just have to implement counter measures (changing passwords). Kinda hard to beat that threat model. As for changing passwords, I don't do it unless I'm emailed by a provider of a database breach. The only passwords I change are ones related to high-profile accounts. i.e.: steam, paypal (probably gonna get rid of that in favor of privacy.com), any financial account except my bank (bank not in my password manager), and email.

I was scared that my password is going to be brute forced or social engineered, I literally just closed my eyes and randomly typed things and included randomly holding down shift. And I forced my self to remember this 15 characters long string, which I did. And I “reverse” hashed with one of my failed hashing programs that expanded the key into 125 characters instead of hashing it. Which I made sure outputted consistently, and imported only the bare minimum of libraries. AND, I flashed the binary into a atmega microcontroller that looks like a normal usb to input the password by showing itself as a HID to any computer while haing specific gpio ports shorted. I use it as my homemade homemade keypass. I even modified the key to be successfully recognized as input method on android phones and ipad by modifying some libraries. When I can’t short any gpio ports, the key simply opens a notepad program on the current system and writes the whole binary of the program that I wrote, and automatically run it asking for any string input, which only outputs the password that I wanted when I type the 15 characters (I can also just input any other new password to be expanded into a somewhat “reverse hashed” string.

Maybe not the safest method around, but the way I create my passwords is that I invent long random sentences and take the first letter from each sentence. So something like 43 long legged neckbeards landed with star-shaped choppers on the roof of my house. They stole five dollars and kidnapped my dearest ginger auntie. Fortunately i caught them and sent them to jail. That would give a password looking like: 43llnlw*-scotromhTs5$&kmdgaFIct&stt# I get that it's not perfect in terms of entropy because sentences just must have certain structures and there probably is a certain distribution of letters in beginning of words, but it can be fairly well remembered and can create some damn long passwords.

[@damoslav3411]

I don't mind memorizing extremely long randomized passwords. Would a randomized alphanumeric 64 character password be ok? I could memorize a random 128 character password but it would take a few days to memorize.

it was kinda funny watching 10:40 while having jmnedict on my computer (not for hacking of course)

[@awolasap4554]

Hey unsure about this but is it possible for websites to see whats in your clipboard? Maybe copy and pasting isn’t the most secure.

[@MultiMissionman]

Yes, it is possible. In my case I set Bitwarden (password manager) to clear the clipboard every 30 seconds. It isn't really necessary because Bitwarden can fill in password fields without going through the clipboard but it's better safe than sorry.

Not even GPUs Im sure some organizations have password cracking ASICs at their disposal...

The NSA has a supercomputer built just cracking passwords

Why not nonsense words? I never see this mentioned. Why not “jilly nilly shipple hipple twing” or “gopple stopple awesome twang”. Something phonetic that you can remember. Open a text editor and start playing. See how fast you can type what you come up with. Once you think you’ve got a good flow going with your chosen phrase, type it several times to stick it in memory then close without saving and use it. And of course as others have mentioned, toss some random punctuation in there too. Tack an exclamation mark on the end or if you’re using windows look into using the alt key plus number pad to generate whacky characters like ñ or æ if the website or app will take it.

I just got a notification from google because my password had been found on a data breach, the same one I used on paypal It apparently leaked from Linkedin in 2021, and the only reason I still have my savings is because no one tried hard enough

Ok, but what if we present a human/algorithm with random keyboard mash type characters and ask them to pick out sequences they can remember, then collect like idk 20 characters, substitute the e a o etc for 3 @ 0, add a random number somewhere and maybe some punctuation so we get pkovzqkdwkdwcsciujbchyfvccswueeopfowkgotskenzkmpjddhfs -> pkovz csci hyfv wueef gotskenz kmpj -> Pkovz 894624 CSC!, hyfv wu3ff G0tskenz KMPJ. I have a feeling that if replace a biased human with an algo that can distribute characters well and not ignore the least used ones like z q x, etc then no dictionary is applicable. Especially if every person that has a copy of the generator retrains it a bit.

[@max_ishere]

oh shit i didnt watch to the end

[@lucywucyyy]

what if my password is a word spelled wrong?

[@ShubhamBhushanCC]

Just use diceware
