       Happy that most of my passwords are still in the green, taking more than a million years _of today’s computing power_ to crack… you should be concerned about any numeric-only passcode that you have, because all can be broken _today_ in less than a week.See https://hivesystems.io/password for more details./ht @lostgen #passwords #CyberSecurity #PasswordCracking

       @juandesant huh, even though it's fast, if we are talking about a proper algoritm, you can't break a 11 digit (numbers only) password instantly

       @juandesant Oh... md5... then that even a potato can crack in no time... even faster if you use rainbow tables

       @coffee the link indicates that they have been also looking at SHA-1 and SHA-256, together with salted MD5. In that sense, I think it is OK that this table is more pessimistic, specially if it makes people more aware of the danger of weak passwords, and password reuse.
