@jupiter Germans use Passwörd!
@cy @jupiter There's quite a good video about password cracking fro #Steelcon 2025 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLGpfrWCQMc

@jupiter Which website is this? That's weird! zxcvbn measures both passwords as weak and old-style (aka bad) password strength meters overestimate mixing character classes (so repeating a single character wouldn't work).

@falken @kajer @MegaMichelle @jupiter @CrackMeIfYouCan about 15 years ago, I set up an Apple TimeCapsule for my wife. Guess what happened: The password chosen to connect didn’t work - and hours later I found out why: There was an umlaut, ä, in her password. Replaced the umlaut by ae - and everything was fine…

Follow this one past the typing test... Not that far off from the truth.

I am happy to announce that I just tested those passwords in the password strength evaluation that I wrote for Intempus. And both of them fail due to repetitions. Using ř scores slightly higher, but only because there is also r in my username.

@falken In some Android keyboards it's ridiculously hard to type a $ character. Don't ask me how I noticed.

Nah, yours is three characters shorter. So I rate the previous one as a bit more secure. But both are rated pretty high by my calculations.

In all seriousness this is a genuine problem (due to UTF-8 normalization-- composition vs decomposition) if you switch between MacOS (always use ASCII latin letter codepoint + diacritic codepoint, no matter what; i.e. "o" + "/", "r" + carron, etc.) and anything else (always prefere one single codepoint if the accented letter exists, e.g., in the Latin-1 block: "ø", Latin Extended-A block: "ř")

I totally agree with that. There was a time where I used machines with both Danish and American keyboard layouts on a daily basis. So I learned to pick passwords consisting of only characters that were located in the same place on both keyboards.
And that was a time when only ASCII was supported, so I had to keep that in mind as well.
The best way to make passwords stronger is to make them longer rather than using more different characters.
I am so annoyed by sites that get this wrong. First they reject my 32 character password because it’s too long. So I try truncating my password to 12, 16, or 20 characters (whatever they permit), and then they reject it because I only have alphanumeric characters. Seriously, the password I started with was stronger than such a short password could ever be. So the weakness of the password I am trying is entirely caused by their low limit on password length and not by the set of characters I had chosen to use.
A user should be allowed to use a password consisting of only two distinct characters as long as it’s long enough and doesn’t have any patterns.
