Passwords are a pain. Thanks to steemit they are history...at least on steemit!
An interesting post. A solution to weak passwords is to make one using three random words like.

**banana curry monster**

Or something equally unrelated.

A brute force attack would take 18,000+ years to crack this simple method.

Scared much? Hackers are overrated. The public are just too lazy to protect themselves from themselves.
And generally deserve a good thrashing. 
(I said that out loud didn't I?)
I'll get my coat. ;)

One can improve resilience to dictionary-based attacks by misspelling words too and including other characters. In this case: 

**Banamma kurr33 mUnstarr?**

It's still easy enough to remember but several orders of magnitude more secure!

Very true @walaoeh this form of password would increase the time to crack it exponentially. 
18,000+ years is already long enough don't you think? ;) tip!
