Comment on Password Insecurity Quickfix by Ryan Day

Sure, if you really required a grammatically correct English sentence, password crackers would be able to be tailored to that.

But right now the majority of passwords are only 1 word, with 1 instead of i and 0 instead of 0. If we are going to build a cracker to not use brute force, it is still easier to run through a dictionary replacing letters with numbers.

Requiring “at least three words” would encourage people to use sentences, which then become *more* crackable then 3 letter passwords.

Users are likely to use actual sentences, effectively reducing the complexity of their passwords. “My dog has fleas” (or something similar, probably “This is my password”) would simply become the new “password1″.
