I kind of want to know what kind of method they are using to calculate how long it takes for a password to be cracked because obviously, there are multiple methods and with a common method of advanced bruteforce, it wouldn't take that much time to crack a password unless the pc used is crap.

Well I ain't entering any of my passwords into that thing, but I guess mine are all fairly easy. (if you know me that is) I ain't got time for long complicated passwords, and I use the same or slight variations for almost everything so if someone guessed it I'm kinda screwed.

Please read the content that follows the image.

The password checked above was 1Nthebeg1n1nG.

See what I did there? Now, take some book off your bookshelf and open it to the [main] first page, i.e., first chapter et al. Glean the first three words, albeit the first two or four may suffice. Convert all the i's to a 1 and/or all the o's to 0 (both if both are present), and capitalize only the first AND last letters. That's it! Now, all you have to remember is what book you gleaned your pre-converted password from even if by happenstance the book was lost, whereupon simply procure another copy if need to recall your password.

Another example using a book from my library (okay, it's a book collection, but I digress): http://www.amazon.com/WOVEN-SCREENS-Their-Selection-Application/dp/B000IUWW12

Ironically, T0ass1stuserS produced the exact same number of years to crack - 158 THOUSAND YEARS.

One more example - Thera1ncamed0wN - from a more obscure book using the first four words (backwarding the first three words - Emacn1arehT - would take 41 years to crack), the results as follows sourced from Elena Dandini De Sylva's Leaves of Memory:



Famous quotes work just as well: F0ursc0reanD - 3 THOUSAND YEARS.

Quote
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Every0ne1sA - 41 YEARS.
