   72 character passwords! I thought I was doing well at 25 characters! !security

     @lanodan_frndk @bobjonkman It is difficult for users to know whether a particular service uses a bad hashing algorithm. Also difficult to know whether the service uses a poor implementation of a better algorithm. !security.

     @lanodan_frndk @bobjonkman Using longer passwords also serves a second purpose: I know I cannot remember them, so I must always use a password database for generation, storage, and entering passwords, which greatly improves !security. I've been trying to convince family members to likewise use the longest-possible randomly-generated passwords for exactly that reason.

     @lanodan_frndk @lnw48 A base62 number ie. a password using characters [a-zA-Z0-9] would only need 45 digits to enumerate every atom in the universe (10^80) #NumericalPerspectives
