> I used Jabberwocky: Tbatstdgag1tw! - according to security.org’s password-strength-checker [1] that will take a computer 200,000,000 years to crack, presumably on average

Or much less time because it's already been leaked three times according to haveibeenpwned.com, so it'll already be in a bunch of rainbow tables.

This is why clever isn't enough: not because you can't design one that's resilient to brute force attacks but because password reuse is the #1 threat to the password-oriented security model and you can't come up with hundreds of sufficiently strong clever passwords.

I think you missed the “10 years ago” bit. And you replied after I posted above that these are login passwords, used only on machines I own. I use unique passwords and hide-my-email on systems I don’t control, for exactly that reason.

I definitely missed that these were login passwords!
