An interesting calculation -- enter a password and it tells you how long it would take to crack it

http://howsecureismypassword.net/

My 'normal' one for forums, etc was 4 days -- for my banking 417 years!

It would take

About 3 minutes

for a desktop PC to crack your password

I think you need to change your password

iDaffodil wil take about 8 years

It would take

About 700 million years

that's my banking one

and 6 days for my forum one

oh, my other bank one


It would take

About 25 billion years

oh, just a thought with this as well,

presumably the website logs your ip, is it at all possible to use these entries for all the wrong reason by the site owner?

I know i have just changed my two passwords, still take over 700 million years to crack them tho lol

I doubt the password is much use on its own.

It's no use without a username, or the site it is associated with

Rob,
You can always save the webpage view it locally after examining it for risks.

Just a thought...

yeah my thoughts too, just thought i would bring it up, my two banks (as I imagine most are these days) require

username
password
pin/memorable word

What was your Bank A/C # robyn.....I want to get a spare PC started on the crack

it's Rob, and you will be lucky mate, ain't enough in there to buy the motherboard, let alone anything else, and zero overdraft either buddy
