Using a different password for every website you know only makes your life more complicated...there is no way you will be able to remember all of them 2 Likes |

I think we need to to back to when people could choose whatever password they deem please whether it's easy to guess or not. It's their freaking choice. These days, people forget their passwords like everyday. What's the point of using complicated passwords if you won't remember them. |

Afam4eva: What I recommend as a practice is to use a passphrase as against complex password. For example one of my password is Ilovebigyansh! 1 Like |

EvilSec: Do not leave control in the hand of end user. Build systems that enforces control with proper password security settings; pwd complexity, reusuability, change frequency, etc. That's how to help the end user. User education is still necessary whether lazy or pertinent. How do u help/prevent a user from using osame pwd on multiple sites? |

I've been following some OSINT podcasts lately. And this was one of their advice. Infact they advised the use of KeePass and the likes with unique 40 character passwords for each of your online accounts. According to one of the speakers, if you know all the characters of your password and know the password of all your accounts then you most likely aren't using secure passwords and are reusing them 1 Like 1 Share |

Strong password is better to avoid hacking, Some strong passwords beyond the knowledge of hackers, use it in any website if it's agree to accept it no hacker will see it. |

EvilSec: Nice: Everyone is guilty of password reuse. Google password manager is a good thing to work with and if you use a Samsung phone too...Samsung do have one too. With Google password manager you could careless about remembering your passwords. Browsers like chrome and Firefox even suggests password to people. If you should check these password suggestions, you will realise they are not expecting you to remember them on subsequent use. On the other hand, platform owners should do well to make sure they use the right cryptographic means to store passwords which is hashing with the recent algorithm like bcrypt. With this, it will be almost impossible to know the actual password in case of data breech, even with a brute force attack on the hash. 1 Like |

OP, you are referring to just websites, do you know many organizations create and use custom applications that are specific to them and their employees? Most of these focus more on functionality versus security, which is where the warning of using strong passwords is very valuable. Also, do you know that several web servers get hacked because the developers simply failed to use strong passwords? Some developers simply want to focus more on functionalities and may even forget to go back to codes where they have used clear text passwords, which is how many hackers succeed in their exploits. So, the warning that the use of strong passwords should be repeated as often as possible until it becomes a part of everyone, even the less tech savvy ones. |

Re: Let's Stop Talking About Password Strength by RenaissanceGuy: 12:15pm On Nov 18, 2020 |
Using Google Chrome, I don't have to worry about passwords. I simply allow them suggest passwords for me when I'm opening a new web account and then they save it automatically on my Google password. |

EvilSec: What course did you take to learn all these stuffs about cyber security? |
Re: Let's Stop Talking About Password Strength by Abrahamdgreat(m): 1:00pm On Nov 18, 2020 |
zeemahn:You don't need any course to learn it... My advice is start with burp suite and make your research on all the technogies it scans and uses and terms... And also keep updated on the latest web security happenings. Although there are many courses that you can take that would help, but the truth is that the would overwhelm a beginner (I know cos I was dere) 1 Like |

Kobicove:What is important is that you don't reuse passwords for sites you care about. I have one password for all the sites I don't care about, but my email and banking passwords are unique and complex. I also have 2FA enabled. 1 Like |
Re: Let's Stop Talking About Password Strength by dgitrader(m): 1:31pm On Nov 18, 2020 |
@ all the posters. Let me share with you how to have strong password and still avoid reuse issues. I use similar codes for 3 classes of websites I registered with. The classification is personal and based on how sensitive I see my data on the site. Below are some examples from bottom to top in tense of sensitivity... Vanguard News.com ...... VNews*123* Chopfood.com...... Cfood*123* Facebook.com......... bookF:*666! Nairaland......... LandNaira:*:555! Email........ Yahoo+606(yah)+! Banksite....... ZEnith+2626(Zen)+! Not forgettable, easy, and coded. Note: those are not random numbers, they are embedded on the sites spellings. If you understand u can have upto 50 and not ever forget one. 3 Likes |
