Three random words are still one of the best passwords, experts say

Make your password at least 60 characters, with no fewer than 12 each of capitals, numerals, and special characters, and mix everything up in a completely random sequence. Then write it on a Post-it and stick it on the edge of your monitor, because you’ll never be able to remember it.

No, but now I suspect they were the last 3 passwords used on Hitlery’s mail server or the 2016 DNC email account lol

[Verginius Rufus]

I'll have to remember that the next time I have to change my password.

I had to spell that in seventh grade English.

Imagine you are a hacker who gets in and downloads the encrypted passwords. You would brute against them so now you could come in all nice and proper through the front door. And also would have those pw’s to try on that user’s other probable accounts at major websites.

I use Youralooserto. I read it on FR.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

I just don’t do any critical tasks online. No banking, no online bill-paying, no medical information, nothing.

Breaking my password to blog accounts like FR isn’t going to do them any good.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yup :)

"I have never understood the brute force method of breaking passwords. Every important website I use just allows three wrong password attempts before they require you to answer questions, change your password, and confirm a random code sent to your registered email address. How does brute force get past the three wrong password attempts issue?"

By deleting the cookie or using different browsers each time?

[Cboldt]

I use threerandomwords everywhere. it works!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Per FR spell check that is the correct spelling.

The wife can spell that backwards.

[Scrambler Bob]

When I got to 4 score, I used ‘_’ the underscore.

EEK EEK I revealed my PW.
