How Secure Is Your Password?
| Hot: |
When it comes to passwords nearly everyone has their own system to deal with them. But how secure are they? Today most passwords under 9 characters are not really deemed secure thanks in large part to the databases that are available to simply look up the passwords. But aren’t they encrypted or secured from prying eyes you may be thinking? Sure but the most common form is to save them in MD5. SHA1 and similar variants are uncommon as well as better methods but for the vast array of online web sites, MD5 is considered standard.
