Hahahaha
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.
But the attacker wouldn't know about that. He does not know if the password is just characters, numbers etc...
I was thinking about that because probably the first world on these dictionaries is "password"
Speaking of not knowing things, how do you know the attacker's pronouns?
This made me laugh pretty hard for some reason. Thank you.
got me
Where do you get the 12 from? Alphabetical is 26 variations per character, not 12.
Do it with the caps and lowers intact. Add spaces and you’ve got an unbrute-able password.
No, it would be far less secure than it already is in weakly obfuscated form.
Why use actinium over argon?
i don't think brearkfaste has the same pronunciation 😂
This is ar good point

'cause noble gases are elitists, they won't mix with these other plebs at all
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh man this is a - g o o d - m e m e -
It's actually not very secure if it's just numbers, but honestly nobody's trying to bruteforce your wifi these days.
append and/or prepend any special character and voilà, it's a very strong passwd
You guys give your friends your passwords?

All I see is *******
This reference makes me feel old.
Hi feel old, I’m dad!
classic stuff
The WiFi password?
This just made me realize how much of a pain it is to spell words with the abbreviations of elements.
You think they had to throw out some early potential titles for Breaking Bad because they couldn't make the logo work?
2-2!
I used to have these two cats that were rapidly losing weight due to several health issues they both had.
I used to make that joke all the time whenever they gave me the "hungry eyes" after I already feed them their wet food.
Someone in the house would say "You two already had your breakfast" and then I'd say "We've had one breakfast, yes. What about second breakfast?" with the thick accent that the line is spoken with.
That's strange, that's the same combination I have on my luggage!
Perfection!
