The Best Password Could Be A Fake Email Address

, By Patcoola

Here I’ll explain how to make a strong unbreakable password that is easy to remember and may take a supercomputer over 100 years to crack.

Many people have difficulty remembering or deciding on a secure password, but did you try using an email address as your password.

An email address is easy to remember because we already know how to remember our own address. An email address contains the elements of a secure password. By using a fake email address as your password, you have a password that may take a supercomputer over 100 years to crack.

Here’s whats in an email address, Brain649@password.com contains all the elements of a secure password and is very easy for most people to remember.

Here’s how it works.

  • The address contains a Capital and Lower case letters.
  • The address contains Numbers.
  • The address contains Special characters.
  • The address is over Eight characters long.

There is 26 letters in the alphabet, however, there is a total of 52 letters in the alphabet because capital letters and lower case letters are in fact separate letters. This means that a password that contains both cases will have a possible combination of 52 per character.

When numbers are added to the mix, we increase the amount of combinations by 10.

By including special characters, we increase the amount of combinations by approximately 32.

All together that is a total of 94 possible combinations per character.

How secure can the use of a fake email as a password be.
To put this into prospective an eight character long password with 94 possible combinations could be cracked by a supercomputer at a rate of 1,000,000,000 passwords per second in 70 days and a 16 character long password in 1,178,254,346,886,420 years.
