the alphabet would take 780 quintillion years!! That's a REALLY LONG TIME!!!!
Mine would only take 212 thousand.

Thanks for the note. I saw that message yesterday. My current password would only take 3 hours to crack. I thought it was clever.

XD. It'd take a pc 600 years to hack mine

For my facebook password..... it'd take 2 quintillion years. So therefore.... I think I'm good

I think I'm pretty safe, but thanks for letting us know, Catspaw.

Hmm, only 32 seconds for mine! However, I have recently gotten that message about attempting to log in too many times, so they must not have figured it out. Ha.

4 days... Probably since it's kind of short. And I did get that message a few times awhile back, but it hasn't happened recently so I think I'm safe.

That is where I dispute their computations.
The alphabet is an extremely easy password to crack just for a human, so it would only take a computer the blink of an eye.
They get the high time because of the large number of characters, but you have to also factor in and/or out for contiguity to have an accurate assessment of security.

Mine is 0.047 seconds to hack
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I DOOMED!!!

Yeah, I figured it would be in the top 500 most common passwords list, but it wasn't, so I guess it could take that long... computers would search through the top 500 list, then go from there.

I just went to that "How Secure is Your Password" site, and it said that "stiletto" would take only 13 minutes to crack! Eugene needs a better program!

How do you change your password? Just PM an Admin to change it?

You change it yourself through your profile editor/user control panel.

Ok Thanks Dan. I'm still a n00b

BAH only 12 trillion years

Does that calculator include that fact that computers will get faster in the future?

I use a separate password for email, Facebook, a different one for each forum, for my computer, I also change each one every week so if u'd like to try and hack it then be my guest

Email-6 Billion years
Facebook-One Billion years
The TOO-2 sextillion years
Campbell County-quadrillion years

according to the safe password site so good luck and don't forget I change em every week sometimes every couple of days

How do you remember them all?

Probably by using them almost every day.

About 34 tredecillion years for my password!!!

I just changed my facebook password. It's now 31 characters long... I really think imma be ok.

I'm good.

It would take
About 61 thousand years
for a desktop PC to crack your password

I tried this password: ToOpassword!!!!!!!!!!
and it got: "About 14 sextillion years"
