OK, so I'm going to have to give up 12345 as my password. I think I'll start using qwerty instead. Much more secure.
OK, so they talk about computers being able to hack passwords in incredibly short amounts of time, but let's say they're trying to hack my yahoo email account, for instance. They'd either have to type in every password the computer comes up with, or else have some way the computer automatically enters each password. Either way will take quite a bit of time, given the time it will take the data to flow back & forth through the internet and the time it will take the server to check the login/password combination. Of course the computer will be faster but I don't think they'd be able to hack an online email account password in 35 seconds.
