    So much easier than racking my brain for different combinations of the same words I always use! Thanks!

    I wish I had watched this years ago...before someone hacked my Minecraft 3 times and broke it.

      SilentFatality Thing is that Yahoo "recycled" the account or something, so...

    QTaftw!3 isn't a strong password though. It would take about a minute to crack with any decent password cracker after getting a hash of it for an offline crack. Putting numbers and symbols at the end is so common that it's the first thing they will try, effectively making the password that many characters shorter. (All 6 character long passwords can be tried in about 0.2 seconds assuming one hundred billion guesses per second).
    Adding the name of the site in some way is also extremely common. One of your passwords leaked would mean they are all leaked for anyone making any kind of effort.
    Generally making the password longer is best (along with just using a password manager), but if it's easy to remember then it's probably not very strong or is basically the same password everywhere.

    Couldn't you also add a copy+paste emoticon to give your password non-keyboard characters, thus strengthening it?

    • @EndsightIT
      @EndsightIT  Před 8 lety

      Clever. In my experience, most databases only allow for certain special characters. ,./;'[]~!@#$%^&*()_+ ... types are usually the only ones allowed.

    wait does that really work?
    just adding an extra separate letter to the same password for separate websites?
    wouldnt that be a very easy pattern to recognize and exploit?

    • @EndsightIT
      @EndsightIT  Před 2 lety

      Actually unless you are a high profile person or being directly spotted by a hacker, it's pretty hard for a robot to catch on with these things.

    Make up a weird funny sentence drawn from your own life then use the lettes in the sentence and add 12 words and 3 symbols.
    for example: i joined the army after high school and my drill instructor was Thomas Till, a jacked black guy.
    would translate to ijtaahsamdiwTTajbg#120925?172132$

      @spiderjump Tip: I always have my passwords (about 10) saved in iPhone “Notes” which I can access easily, and also I carry a hard copy with me for ease of use when I travel. I have no need for encrypted password services. My password system works like this: It must be at least 15 digits, starts with a capital letter ie “F” using two easy to remember words ie “Go dog” (the second word encompassed by symbols, folleowed by four digits ie “1234”, and ending with two digits (a letter and number) ie t2. The security you have is that the four digit easy to remember numbers and the last two security digits that are never written down or saved in iPhone “Notes”.
      Example: “Easy pay” would be Easy#pay#1122g9 This method allows you to remember any password, and take centuries to crack.
