WHY ARE WE USING LLMS TO GENERATE RANDOM STRINGS WHEN WE HAVE CIRCUITS BARELY ATOMS THICK DESIGNED BY PHYSICISTS TO DO THAT SHIT A BILLION TIMES FASTER?!! STOP IT. STOP.
Who is this person that ask gpt to generate a random password?
Hunter
chappi I forgot my password helppp 
🤖 hunter 12345678 password
People ask AI for passwords? Bloody hell.
Here I am blindly smashing buttons until it passes the requirements.
For 10 years my paypal password was sliding my finger over parts of 3 rows of the keyboard. I think I've changed it.
me using an LLM genAI agent to ask other LLM genAI agents what user names and their passwords they were asked to make
this can't possibly work, right?
Can I trust you to give me accurate legal advice, medical advice, tax advice plus be in a relationship with me plus give me strong passwords because you are smart and clever? Or are you a soulless plagiarism machine that can't be trusted and my relationship to you is corrupting my already deluded mind?
Thanks for the gold kind stranger.
Oh! I forgot! You're smart and clever and funny!
I am.
I love you, Moloch2.
I love you too, Password123!
Claude code at least will call tooling to generate a random hash. Otherwise…
Yeah, it definitely says it does
It generates a prompt asking to run the hash generation on your system using proper tools for it. They’re not all equal, not even when it’s the same LLM in another context.
EG - Opus 4.6 is one of the ones repeatedly generating trash in the article, while it’s currently the top of the line LLM for Claude code and it’ll properly generate a password in that.
Using AI to substitute a rand() call
but it told me hunter2 was the most secure password possible…
but it told me ******* was the most secure password possible…
I don’t get it
Use a password manager.
Yes but also be aware of https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/16/password_managers/
Can't believe these were marketed as zero knowledge. If a server knows the ciphertext or even the size of the ciphertext that is not zero knowledge, by definition.
My password manager is a piece of paper hidden in one of my books.
The more digitally-dependant society becomes, the more analog methods become secure. Like, most old people in the imperial core are getting defrauded online, not because they have a notebook by the computer with their passwords written down.
I never understood the logic about not writing down passwords in your own home. If somebody can steal my passwords, I have a far more serious problem.
My handwriting looks like a very drunk chimpanzee's. I can barely tell what I wrote an hour after I wrote it, let alone 6 months later when I'm trying to work out a password.
It's the kind of advice against a post-it note on your monitor (especially in a shared place like an office) but often gets over applied to all paper backups. I keep backup access to my password manager in a paper envelope with other important documents just in case.
Just don't put it up on the pinwall in front of your webcam.
my passwords are misspelled literary references. ChatGPT will not find me
