   New shitty password generation scheme just dropped, get cracking.

     @ElsaPreme @WastelandWandrr These are all bad ideas, TBH.

     @WastelandWandrr

     What do you get when you multiply six by nine?

     Six by nine. Forty two.

     @ryanc Better suggestion: "six*seven=42" :blobcatwinktongue:

     @ollien @OddDev @ryanc Congrats! You just upgraded your password space to the equivalent of a six digit pin!

     On the other hand, you just made remembering your password very difficult for yourself!

     There's a certain poetic beauty in using a password that will be easier to crack than to remember yourself 😌

     @lunarood @OddDev @ryanc sounds like my poor mental math skills will help here. There's no limit to how many passwords have wrong answers!

     @OddDev @ryanc Because it has an extremely constrained password space.

     Assuming the exact scheme in the example: "N+m=#", where all numbers are <100, and the computation is valid... The size of the password space is 100(100+1)/2 = 5050. That's absolutely negligible (even a four digit numeric pin is better).

     "But someone's password scheme is not known" you say? It's all about scale. If a scheme is popular, you add it to your cracking database, and you'll be sure to crack several passwords!

     "3 + 3 * 3 = __"

     (and fill in what you think the answer should be)

     omg, is that because GPTs are bad at math?

     @WastelandWandrr @ElsaPreme then you have a four digit pin with extra steps

     It's a quote from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
