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
But there are 12 possible characters rather than 10 which increases the problem space.
Sorry, what do you mean by 12 characters?
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.
Where do you get the 12 from? Alphabetical is 26 variations per character, not 12.
But the attacker wouldn't know about that. He does not know if the password is just characters, numbers etc...
Do people realize dictionary attacks aim specifically at these word passwords?
But it has an extra e at the end so 100% more secure
You guys give your friends your passwords?
The WiFi password?
Why use actinium over argon?
i don't think brearkfaste has the same pronunciation 😂
