When 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.
