In other words, Kerkhoffs' Principle applies to password selection methodology.

When hundreds of millions of accounts are leaked yearly, the likelihood that your 'favorite' password method is unique is very low. The password crackers know all of these human selection processes.

then even if your specific password doesn't appear in a giant dictionary, it is still weak enough to fall to offline bruteforce and hybrid password-guessing attacks. If you select a strong password (say, 15 random characters or more) or a strong passphrase (5 or more random words from a sufficiently long dictionary of 10K or more), then the strength of that password relies solely on the pure math of how many combinations are possible, and you know that the likelihood of it appearing in any list is very, very low.īut if your password is 'JellyfishVacation2014', or a keyboard pattern, or your childhood address backwards, or any of the hundreds of different psychologies of non-random human password selection. If you're generating the password in a sound way, then you should already know how hard it is to crack.

Projects like zxcvbn that provide a password blacklist, plus a length requirement, provide at least a cursory assurance of strength.īut if, as it sounds, you are asking this question in order to verify the strength of your own personal password, then you should reconsider. If you're a sysadmin or an auditor, and you want to use leaked lists and and dictionaries to check the strength of people's passwords prior to acceptance, that is a sound idea.

This requires you to enter a one-time code or plug in a USB security key when you're logging in from a new device, but it also means that crooks who steal your passwords won't be able to log in. Set up two-factor authentication on every online account that allows it. We strongly recommend doing two other things which are slightly inconvenient but will make your online accounts much safer. 'FluffyMcKenzie69' may be long and contain upper-case letters and digits, but it's still not a great password. Don't use your own name, your hometown, your birth year, or the names of any of your loved ones. You may love your pet, but don't use its name in your password. Don't use personal information in your passwords. If one account of yours is compromised in a data breach, then every account with which you use the same password and username should also be considered compromised. Never reuse a password, because that makes the damage from data breaches much worse. Ideally, they should include capital letters, digits and punctuation marks, but if they're 20 characters or more you can probably get away with all lower-case letters. Each password should be at least 16 characters long. Let's review the three cardinal rules of passwords. For example, if you take four random words of five letters or more and string them together in every possible way, you'll end up with 24 strong, hard-to-guess but easy-to-remember passwords. It takes just a little effort to come up with good, strong passwords. If you're using any of these terrible passwords, or anything that even looks like them, stop doing so immediately.

It shows that many people just can't be bothered to protect themselves online.
