Thanks for the note. I saw that message yesterday. My current password would only take 3 hours to crack. :-k I thought it was clever.

XD. It'd take a pc 600 years to hack mine :D

For my facebook password..... it'd take 2 quintillion years. So therefore.... I think I'm good :P

Hmm, only 32 seconds for mine! \:D/ However, I have recently gotten that message about attempting to log in too many times, so they must not have figured it out. Ha.

4 days... Probably since it's kind of short. And I did get that message a few times awhile back, but it hasn't happened recently so I think I'm safe.

That is where I dispute their computations.
The alphabet is an extremely easy password to crack just for a human, so it would only take a computer the blink of an eye.
They get the high time because of the large number of characters, but you have to also factor in and/or out for contiguity to have an accurate assessment of security.

Yeah, I figured it would be in the top 500 most common passwords list, but it wasn't, so I guess it could take that long... computers would search through the top 500 list, then go from there.

I just went to that "How Secure is Your Password" site, and it said that "stiletto" would take only 13 minutes to crack! Eugene needs a better program!
Well now we know. Eugene uses a Dell pc. Really though, only 13 minutes? Eugene was looking for that password for around 3 episodes. He really needs to upgrade his software!

Does that calculator include that fact that computers will get faster in the future?

Email-6 Billion years
Facebook-One Billion years
The TOO-2 sextillion years
Campbell County-quadrillion years

according to the safe password site so good luck and don't forget I change em every week sometimes every couple of days ;)
