Good, now hackers can prioritize English words in your passwords for bruteforce attacks!

hackers can prioritize English words

Yeah, all hundreds of thousands of them. In combinations that don't make logical sense. Do you have any idea how long that would take?

Even if I limited myself to a 5 word pass phrase from a word list of 5000, there would be 25989619781251000 possible combinations.

Make that list the entirety of the English language and there's no way you'd be able to brute force it before the sun becomes a red giant, let alone during the lifespan of an unhealthy elder millennial ๐Ÿ˜„
