So i create another alt and realise the new passwords have to have a number with them.
Then i realise my older toons are the old style, just plain old letters :)

So i ask, who is old school and who is new school?

Solo 4 Life.1v1 always honored, flying without booster alt since Oct 2010. No ransoms honored even if offered :)

Am I still old school if I used numbers and letters in the old days?

Isn't this 'say if your passwords aren't alphanumeric so you can be an easier target for password-cracking bots'?

Probably not, considering it's impossible to get an account name just knowing the name of a character on it.

Not old school, just more intelligent than most.

Passwords made up of a bunch of words are a lot easier to remember and type. Perhaps not quite so secure as a totally random alphanumeric password, but so much easier to work with, while remaining secure enough to stop a brute force (with limiting on the server side. If they can lay their hands on the hashs, you're screwed, regardless)

Woo! CSM XI!

My character name is Mr Epeen.
My acct name is Mr Epeen.
My password is Mr Epeen.

That's pretty secure, innit?

This suddenly has me wondering if my password is actually all that secure.

17+ character special-mixaplhanum password is nowaday almost unbreakable even with x-tera sized rainbow tables backup :) ... on the other side, passwords shorter than 8 characters can be breaked faster than you read this post...

That's why all my passwords are now "passw0rd" instead of "password".

My Eve password has 64 bits of entropy. I consider that "good enough" for an online service where the database is salted/hashed and there's rate limiting on password attempts/sec.

My "offline" password for stuff has 240 bits of entropy. I consider that "good enough" for an encryption algorithm with 256 bits of keyspace where the attacker has unrestricted access to the encrypted file.
