heh, I included this line because it's true, but that whole section is about why "use coffee because you like python" is the wrong tldr.

$^$^$^_ and $^$^$^z are both recognized by zxcvbn as bruteforce regions. it reports the entropy as: n log (c) for a length-n password with symbol space c. the huge difference in crack time is because zxcvbn is using c==33 (symbols only) for

zxcvbn's current analysis for 'correcthorsebatterystaple' vs 'correct horse battery staple' looks about right to me, it's counting each space as an extra bruteforce character. horsebattery vs 'h orsebattery', on the other hand, shows a clea

zxcvbn gives high entropy for emails because it isn't matching against them currently. if there's good evidence that people commonly use emails as passwords (and crackers try emails as guesses!) it'd be a great pattern to add.

That's a great idea. More generally, whatever the approach, I agree zxcvbn would be better with a more conservative rating for non-pattern-matched regions.

This drives me insane. It especially bites everyone using a a manager to generate long random passwords. Password fields that are too short cause a similar problem, where you ask "am i still typing? did it cut me off?" We purposely made the

It certainly needs more tweaking. FJ, FJFJ, etc isn't in any of the 10k passwords people commonly use, isn't a sequence, isn't a single repeated character, etc, so zxcvbn recognizes it as bruteforce. A fun extension would be to recognize re

combine these points with public high school budget cuts and it just gets worse. i still remember how demotivating it was being handed a heavy chemistry textbook from three decades ago on the first day of my junior year. the first 5 minutes

I've found my own effective method for beating that exhausted feeling: I call it "supercharging" your batteries. The trick is to down two or three redbulls immediately before going to sleep. 45-50 minutes later you basically hit the ceiling

i'm pretty sure a computer could rock this job. just wire up a natural language generator, make it jabber incessantly about stuffed crust pizza, throw in some 70s surfer slang (radical!), good to go.
