Would you recommend it to others?NewYorkRush@lemmy.ca to Android@lemmy.world – 1150 points – 1 years ago950Post a CommentPreviewYou are viewing a single commentView all commentsShow the parent commentWhen possible I use passphrases with numbers added. Sadly my bank has a 16 character limit.Time for a new bank.Why? Do you know how long it takes to crack a 16 character password?Password cracking isn’t really a thing anymore.You're telling me nobody uses brute force attacks anymore?Nope. Most services lock you out after 3 failed password attempts for 10-15 minutes. Password cracking would take centuries at that rate. It worked in the 90s when you could pound the severs for hours/days before even being noticed. Now you’ll just get auto IP banned.
