Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
It's having the key to a door and not knowing which door it's the key for. Useless.

Yes but it knows its a password. Doesn't take very long to try to obvious ones.. ebay, paypal, and so on. Your 25 thousand years disolves into a few minutes especially if it knows your IP adress and probably other information.

They still need to know your email/Username. I also have no idea what a IP address has to do with it.

That site has a lot of javascript BS. So I would be cautions. I use NoScript for Firefox so no issue here.

What?
Because an IP adress is your "identity" online. Of course they have to be very good hacker, but that's still a possibility.
I get that's less likely they'll do anything since they don't have the websites but that's still one step closer to hacking accounts

I thought about that before putting in my password, hence why I chose a different character for the last part of my password. It's just random numbers and letters anyways so that shouldn't impact the results.Because an IP adress is your "identity" online.

Everything is possible of course.
But for security reasons I never write my passwords anywhere anyway...
Besides...every web site will say that they won't use it for illegal purposes lol...

Just thought of a new password, it will take "435 million years" to crack it. LOL

The time needed to crack someone's password will probably decrease as the technology advances...

But the encryption and requirements for passwords will get more advanced.
