We've had 1st-factor authentication, but what about 2nd-factor?

Just making “second breakfast” your password would be more secure.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/936/

Is it though? Because I it's the same amount of characters

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

But there are 12 possible characters rather than 10 which increases the problem space.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Sorry, what do you mean by 12 characters?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

All numbers in a passcode means 10 possible values for each position: 0-9. Just the letters in the phrase “second breakfast” include 12 possible values at each position which means mathematically there are more possible solutions.

But the attacker wouldn't know about that. He does not know if the password is just characters, numbers etc...

I was thinking about that because probably the first world on these dictionaries is "password"

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Speaking of not knowing things, how do you know the attacker's pronouns?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

This made me laugh pretty hard for some reason. Thank you.

Where do you get the 12 from? Alphabetical is 26 variations per character, not 12.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Do it with the caps and lowers intact. Add spaces and you’ve got an unbrute-able password.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

No, it would be far less secure than it already is in weakly obfuscated form.

Why use actinium over argon?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

i don't think brearkfaste has the same pronunciation 😂

'cause noble gases are elitists, they won't mix with these other plebs at all

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh man this is a - g o o d - m e m e -

You guys give your friends your passwords?

This reference makes me feel old.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Hi feel old, I’m dad!

classic stuff

The WiFi password?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

It's actually not very secure if it's just numbers, but honestly nobody's trying to bruteforce your wifi these days.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

append and/or prepend any special character and voilà, it's a very strong passwd

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

This just made me realize how much of a pain it is to spell words with the abbreviations of elements.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

You think they had to throw out some early potential titles for Breaking Bad because they couldn't make the logo work?

That's strange, that's the same combination I have on my luggage!

Perfection!
