We've had 1st-factor authentication, but what about 2nd-factor?

Just making “second breakfast” your password would be more secure.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/936/

[-] calavera@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Is it though? Because I it's the same amount of characters

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 year ago

But there are 12 possible characters rather than 10 which increases the problem space.

[-] calavera@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Sorry, what do you mean by 12 characters?

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

All numbers in a passcode means 10 possible values for each position: 0-9. Just the letters in the phrase “second breakfast” include 12 possible values at each position which means mathematically there are more possible solutions.

[-] calavera@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

But the attacker wouldn't know about that. He does not know if the password is just characters, numbers etc...

[-] calavera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I was thinking about that because probably the first world on these dictionaries is "password"

[-] jpeps@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Speaking of not knowing things, how do you know the attacker's pronouns?

[-] Zhao@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

This made me laugh pretty hard for some reason. Thank you.

Where do you get the 12 from? Alphabetical is 26 variations per character, not 12.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Do it with the caps and lowers intact. Add spaces and you’ve got an unbrute-able password.

[-] AffineConnection@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No, it would be far less secure than it already is in weakly obfuscated form.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 21 points 1 year ago

Why use actinium over argon?

[-] Chimaeratorian@beehaw.org 23 points 1 year ago

i don't think brearkfaste has the same pronunciation 😂

'cause noble gases are elitists, they won't mix with these other plebs at all

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh man this is a - g o o d - m e m e -

You guys give your friends your passwords?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

All I see is *******

[-] demonsword@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

classic stuff

[-] snowbell@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

The WiFi password?

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 12 points 1 year ago

It's actually not very secure if it's just numbers, but honestly nobody's trying to bruteforce your wifi these days.

[-] demonsword@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

append and/or prepend any special character and voilà, it's a very strong passwd

[-] ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

This just made me realize how much of a pain it is to spell words with the abbreviations of elements.

[-] CeruleanRuin 6 points 1 year ago

You think they had to throw out some early potential titles for Breaking Bad because they couldn't make the logo work?

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I used to have these two cats that were rapidly losing weight due to several health issues they both had.

I used to make that joke all the time whenever they gave me the "hungry eyes" after I already feed them their wet food.

Someone in the house would say "You two already had your breakfast" and then I'd say "We've had one breakfast, yes. What about second breakfast?" with the thick accent that the line is spoken with.

[-] Tbird83ii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

That's strange, that's the same combination I have on my luggage!

[-] MrMobius@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Perfection!
