The objective of this site is to point out that if you use words typically found in the dictionary, you will eventually become a victim where your account (or accounts) will be compromised. In all of my years of computing, this is TRUE!; especially if your accounts are internet based.


Go here to test the strength of your passwords - link


My result :
It would take
About 15 thousand years
for a desktop PC to crack your password

Result: About a million years. Unfortunately, it can't take into account every situation, for example "Mother" turns out to be a frequent used password, while for "M0th3r" it says that it takes 1hr to brute force. In reality, most password crackers will try small variations of dictionary words and "M0th3r" is as insecure as "Mother", imo. Another flaw: 11111...11 is a secure password according to it.
