What password-length do you use on most websites?

What password-length do you use on most websites? I turned off public polling, so your answer can't be used against you by hackers.

 

Hello,

Password: usually 4-8 characters or so. Voted 6.
Regarding 'hackers', again, the same answer that I used in your bank poll.
It's like saying Swiss accounts have 14 digits in them. So?

I think I have 11. I let Roboform create the passwords. I have no idea what passwords I have on different sites (Well, I could look in roboform but would never remember them anyway)

There are one or two sites that I use outside of my computer (so I need to remember the pw) and they are 9 characters.

 

As much as possible using GRC's passphrase generator, but max about 60.

 

May also want to check out SuperGenPass. It's also portable.

 

@InfinityAz: Since SuperGenPass is scriptbased, isn´t there a risk that this script could be exploited and then pick up your masterpassword to collect the rest of your passwords? I´m just wonder since the password result is the same every time based on your masterpassword and the url of the site.

I have nine passwords I use on different sites. All are seven characters long or longer. They are not written down anywhere I just memorize them. So far no one has hacked into my mind to get them

 

Most often eight, but sometimes six or seven.

 

I use Keepass's Password safe's Random password generator and 15 characters.

 

Let's see:

Hehe. Mind-hacking...now THATs good stuff, who cares about stupid forums accounts (which are free?). Yeah, Mind hacker...I'm gonna do that. Get into someone's mind, steal secrets, mess up their lives ( I think they're called women?)

Right-o. I use 1 nick and 1 pw for all forums. The pw is the name of my right big toe. Hack away.

Usually 8 chars here for most sites.. seems like enough...

 

Over 8 characters

 

I checked 7. I usually do between 5 and 7. The most I have used is about 11. I try to use longer ones for sites where I want it to be harder for one to guess. I have no idea why I feel that way because I feel password length is less important then mixture of numbers and letters and keep it difficult - no dictionary words. I am requried to take a pc security course yearly. Picking a good secure password has been covered heavily.

 

Let's see .... I've got friend who like's g o o d f o o d. But then, he's lucky IE has a shortcut on the desktop.

On every site or "computer place" I have put different passwords - some are 9 , some are 11 , but most are 10 , so I voted 10

 

I use 6 characters for things like forums, and general web site logins. I 'm not too concerned if someone cracks my password to my catalog website. If they want to buy my something all they have to do is ask. The banks want 8 characters for some reason. I would prefer 12 but they won't have it. But generally I will have "Password Safe" create an 8 character password at random for me.

 

at least 8 characters.

 

I voted 6 then stopped and counted. oooops....should have been 8. It is alpha-numeric so it can not be cracked using a dictionary search. As mentioned my password and user name are the same for the forums I belong to. However I get very serious with log-ins when it comes to my bank and bill paying sites.

 

Mine is min 12 and goes to 64 and I use a password Manager thats encrypted.

 

Password length varies but mostly 7 characters.

 

For less important sites I use around 10. For important I use more than 15.

 

On sites such as forums and webmail accounts where there's no real personal data to protect, my passwords vary from 7 to 16 characters, average about 10.

Varying between 11 and 15, usually around 13.
