    @Tutanota@mastodon.social The graphic does not do justice to the increase in strength of passwords against brute-force attacks with every additional character. For those wondering have some fun at Steve Gibson’s password haystack @SGgrc@infosec.exchange

    Normalize extended ASCII
    And 128+ long passwords

    If you use a password manager (which you should)
    There’s no reason not to make it as complex as you can

    #keepassxc #extendedascii #passwords #privacy #cybersecurity

  • @Tutanota@mastodon.social wouldn’t be very strong a lot faster using non latin words ? Like a mix of kanji ; there are thousand of them after all ? A 4 kanji password feels stronger than any a 20 words with special charas. (but I didn’t do the math)
