Centuries could become years which could become days depending on how computing progresses. We’re just trying to make sure your account is secure in the Post Singularity era :P
Just ignore the fact that the actual user data like posts and comments are plaintext in the server.
That’s amazing! I’ve got the same combination on my luggage.
The above password is 28 characters long with special characters. In the meme, the password length is 128 but with no special characters. If you add special characters, the password will be strong.
But still, I think the password strength tester needs improvement.

Another advantage is that you can type your password with someone looking straight at your keyboard, but it’s too long (+ random) to memorize

Requires “post quantum” encryption of course /s
While you make a fair point with your referrer codes in this link, they should be removed completely for lemmy.
It can be used to uniquely identify the origin (Lemmy and/or other places OP posted this link). So even though it’s insulting, the referral variables are still doing their job.
Needs better quantum resistance!

I think he came up with the idea originally, of using common words like this.
Because they really do have higher entropy, even if the attacker knows you are using common words and what dictionary you are using. Most modern systems (like bitcoin keys etc) use this idea now.
Does a time estimate for brute force always assume the operation is not parallel?
IMO, the fact that the “how long to crack” metric does not state the assumptions and parameters it uses means that its validity is dubious at best.
Don’t have a link on hand, but studies have shown being overly generous with the password meter is the only way to significantly increase password strength.
But Lemmy and improved UX? Nah not happening
