π¨ Are your passwords long enough?
Our survey shows 16% of Tuta users use passwords under 10 characters!
NIST & CISA recommend at least 16 to defend against malicious attackers & modern threats like quantum computing.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social it's not just a matter of length. A password of "thisisaverylongpassword" is 23 characters but would be cracked in minutes (seconds?) Overall password complexity (entropy) is also very important to creating passwords that cannot be easily guessed or brute forced
@ithoughtisawa2@infosec.exchange That is correct, but length does matter. π
@Tutanota now you all just have to use the strongest one to be save π₯Έ
give me a like, if you agree π₯Έπ₯Έ
@Tutanota@mastodon.social I don't really see, how it improves the situation if we alle use the same 20 character password NIST recommends.

@Tutanota Thanks for sharing! I take security very seriously, so Iβll be sure to change all my passwords to 6f5Y!c231"8gC-ugg8β7

Without further explanation, it is simple, isn't it? But some still try to make it complex :ageblobcat:
@Tutanota@mastodon.social how do you know exact password length for certain user?
You can see it? Or survey means you asked users and they apply?
@ed57@infosec.exchange We asked :)
