Re: Do you use your ISP created SSID?

Interesting!!

I tried a previous password (which some sites had rejected as being far too simple/easy) & it gave me "Green-Lights" throughout & told me it would take "1.83 billion centuries" to hack in an "Online Attack Scenario (Assuming one thousand guesses per second)"!

LOL. Easy. My honestly simple 24 character pass phrase gave the comment:
Online Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one thousand guesses per second) 93.83 billion trillion trillion centuries
Somewhat unrealistic but perhaps a little reassuring.

In reply to a post by Spuriousfish:
You can check how good your passwords are here...

https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm


The thinking behind that page is a remarkable change to the standard "make it tricky" approach:

a) Make sure a cracker is forced to start an exhaustive, character-by-character search;
b) Make it long, through easy (for you) to remember padding characters.

The first step in that is to choose a password with at least 1 lower-case character, 1 upper-case character, 1 digit, and 1 symbol.
