Short Password & No Symbols #93

Closed alana314 closed 5 years ago

alana314 commented 5 years ago

I was thinking about making a tool like this and then found this. Thanks for making it! The password it generated for me was 10 digits and could be cracked in 8 months according to https://howsecureismypassword.net. What if there was a version two of the software that generated longer passwords? It could truncate a SHA384 at like 12 characters, would that still be secure? I was also thinking it could have a simple, repeatable find and replace to add symbols (*@#$%) to the password, to add to typical requirements.

If you click the gear on the top left you can change the password length.

Right now I am using password of 14 characters and with either the MD5 and the SHA algorithms the https://howsecureismypassword.net/ site says that they would need 10 million years to crack.
