  • Sure! But how would you know that there’s only n letters being used? I guess you could make your search start from all passwords with only 1 letter for the entire length of the password, then 2, then 3 etc if you think its likely that they haven’t used a strong password.

    You mean you aren’t being targeted by the state for your posts in femcel memes? You need to femcel harder! /j


  • Honestly the variety of letters doesn’t matter much because your attacker isn’t going to be able to thin their dictionary unless they have pre existing knowledge of which letters are in your password, right?

    The alternating pattern and being clustered on the index finger is valid though and something someone could easily use to initially narrow their search.

    For clarity - I use much more secure password schemes than a random lowercase keysmash and wouldn’t actually use this, but thanks for the writeup!
