@protonprivacy C: because it consists of random characters, including lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters.The others may be included in word lists because they appear in dictionaries.

@protonprivacy I would pick C but it's D, right? Because of character count? Wouldn't it be best if it were words that were spelled wrong, or not in a dictionary?

@protonprivacy D, but only as long as that schema was not mandated or the attacker knows that you're using it.After that C.But Really just use a local non-cloud password manager like KeePassXC and generate a 120 character password that just gets filled in on the correct website after clicking on it...

@protonprivacy D by me. Easier to remember, long, uses special characters, lowercase/uppercase & numbers.Although, using password manager (self-hosted) and having passwords consistent of at least 40 characters would be better, or a passkey (not-synced)

@protonprivacy Depends on the purpose.J7$kP2!mQx9#L is best for password managers because it's long, random, and has multiple special characters. It is difficult for a human to memorize, though, which is why it's best to use a password manager, like ProtonPass, to remember it.Echo-Bicycle-Violet-77& is best as a master password, although technically slightly weaker than the other, but a human can remember it and can type it in when necessary. It's good though because it has special characters too, is long, and has upper- and lowercase letters and numbers.

@protonprivacy as long as it is used one time and stored in a password manager, either b, c or d will likely do.If the password is meant to be reused across platforms (which is a bad habit but hey you do you) and there's no password manager, b and d are probably fine as they are memorable, have enough entropy and likely fit all the various platforms password requirements length and special chars).

@protonprivacy I know D is theoretically better. But if I use a password manager then the longer and more complex the better and there is no memorable consideration required. So I use something like C usually.

@protonprivacy I once used a wifi password "If Y0u Will Excus3 Th3 Temp0ral Ambiguity". None of your passwords have embedded white space, and they are arguably not long enough. If one must use passwords, it makes sense to use the most complex ones one can and still record or remember them properly.

@Simx72 @nemo @protonprivacy there are no unbreakable passwords. There are just passwords that take more time to break than the access is worth. And when the new wave of quantum computing gets going, we may have the ability to break the most complex passwords in minutes instead of months. This is why two-factor authentication and large, complex, passkeys that are cryptographically complex have become normal.

@protonprivacy For consumers it probably doesnât really matter that much. Use a password manager if you can. Turn on MFA if itâs available. Passkeys are cool. But youâre way more likely to have your data stolen by some kind of info stealer, or a vendor breach, than a brute forced password. And if your vendor is all in on vibe coding youâre pretty much boned no matter how good your password is.

@protonprivacyWinterMoon38 is the least secure: dictionary words + 2 numbers, brute-forced in ~3.6 sec. Flame!Rider204 is second worst: both words are dictionary-based, symbols and numbers guessed in ~20.43 sec.J7$kP2!mQx9#L is among the most secure, brute-force only, taking ~98.7 years. Echo-Bicycle-Violet-77& is the most secure: multiple dictionary words, but with mixed case and symbols it takes centuries via 3/4 methods (100/hr, 10/sec, 10k/sec)
