As a computer hobbyist, I often worry how good my passwords are. I've never seen anything to describe how important it is. This chart and the research is super. My hat off to HIVE!
@PerryM Ha! Thanks to password managers, all my passwords are 24 - 36 characters long and use all the combinations. Perhaps that's overkill.
@steve @PerryM that's good, especially since password-cracking algorithms are getting better.
@kainoa @steve @PerryM I use 1Password to generate (and store, of course) passwords, and I just keep it cranked up to whatever 60-something the maximum is in 1Password.

Some sites get angry about that.
@spiralmind @kainoa @PerryM Yeah, that's why I use 32, most of the time, but sometimes sites can't handle the size of my, er...passwords.
@steve @[email protected] @PerryM ...and of course I have to recommend @dumbpasswordrules for some fun.
