How Hackable is Your Password? - Comments Page 2

I was shown Password Corrall many years ago, and I've used it ever since. An excellent tool. Yes, like all software, there are risks in using it, but a bit of common sense and a regular back-up of the encrypted associated file mitigates that to an accetable level. And it is far better than relying on memory or mnemonics! Oh, and it's free.

If the organizations that require passwords, and who doesn't any more, would give you three tries and then lock your account for a minute or two, hacking passwords wouldn't be a problem. It would take way too long.

EDITOR'S NOTE: As I mentioned in my article, that's not how they crack passwords. See the link I provided on that.

I went to the Password Strength Checker you had mentioned and it would take 3 million years to crack my weakest password. I think that my passwords are, for the time being, safe from h@ckers. :-)
