That's cool. I do use capital letter and numbers in my passwords.

With 200 billion possible combinations, I'm fairly safe. LOL

I just use "broncos" as my password for everything.

this could be fun..........;D

liar, it doesnt work!

You have to admit, it's easy to remember. And plus - who would ever think of it?

I use "bob"

I use "bob"
Try spelling it backwards sometimes, just to screw with the hackers.

Man, I thought I could TRUST you!

You're dead to me, ludo.

I'm actually fairly stupid about passwords.

For a long time I used "Arrowhead" for my password. I now only use that on two websites, and they have zero to do with football.

However, I use the same password for everything else.

With these supercomputers getting stronger by the hour, it's a legit concern.

Upper and lower case with a couple % # in there with 9 should keep you safe for awhile. Somebody in India managed to get one of my card numbers and tried to get some airline tickets, but didn't have my 3 digits on the back and they denied and cancelled it. What's crazy is that I had recently ripped someones stupid ass in India over my mediacom account. These three digits on the back of the card is a death sentence. Use the phone if your giving that out.

Chiefsrulein2020 as a password is pure genius.

[watermock]

Actually, Chiefswillrulein2112 noone would be able to crack.

You're so close-minded.

[loborugger]

My Gov't work stations lock the system down after 3 failed attempts to log in. That is one way to by pass a computer that is brute forcing to break your password.

You're so close-minded.

Well, I've got that one pegged! *Makes notes for next year*

Passwords are actually fairly easy to crack with most tools out there today. That's why most banks are now starting to go with IP logging and comparing it to your location. If it's not close, your password won't even work.

Oh yeah? Quantum computer was supposed to be uncrackable too, but its already been crack.

The problem comes because in Quantum computer you have data in two places at the same time which leaves you very vunerable. If data in one place changes, it automatically changes at the other. "Spooky action at a distance" is what Einstein called it, and the scientists have already bumbled through cracking their own uncrackable system.

Quantum computing will be able to crack current encryption just because of sheer processing power, but by the time we have those, encryption will be done trillions of possible combinations that even quantum computers would be hard pressed to crack in a reasonable amount of time.

Most people have two passwords. The one they use for less sensitive things, and the one they use for credit cards.

My less sensitive password is always the same, and its just letters. My credit card password is complex I cant ever remember it. I have it written down and it consists of upper case, lower case and numbers.
