Shadix Posted February 8, 2011 ... I think I'll change my password. Ditto. Mine would last 4 hours. Xidash Quote Link to comment
ChocolateFrogs Posted February 8, 2011 My password is pretty safe in and off itself, I just need to limit my use of it more I guess... I never reuse passwords (and I think many here can say the same thing). It's just generally a bad habit. Like if you use the same password for your email and a few other sites, and you get caught, then your email (what I would consider one of the most valuable password protected things online, along with a bank account website) is compromised if they think to try that. -CF Quote Link to comment
Waffles Posted February 8, 2011 My password has 27 characters, upper and lower case, words and jumbled letters, numbers, and non-QWERTY symbols. I would say it takes longer than the universe has existed to hack it. ~Gata. Oh my. Quote Link to comment

Legolover-361 Posted February 9, 2011 The closest approximation I can get for my password is 44,530 years. Then again, it's higher than nine characters... Quote Link to comment

I would say it takes longer than the universe has existed to hack it. ~Gata. How on Earth do you remember that?! It was much shorter in the beginning, but I kept making it longer whenever accounts were taken over. Is there a character limit for passwords on BZP? Not as far as I know. ~Gata.

tent163phantoka Posted February 11, 2011 If my math is correct(Which it probably isn't XD),rounding to the nearest tenth and judging by the time it would take a hacker to guess a 9-character password with the same main 3 types of content, it would take a hacker 306,762.2 years to guess my password if they don't find my password,and/or cheat in a way I will not mention so as to not give hackers ideas, since my password is 62 characters long.
