Just making “second breakfast” your password would be more secure.

Is it though? Because I it’s the same amount of characters

But there are 12 possible characters rather than 10 which increases the problem space.

Sorry, what do you mean by 12 characters?
- dylanmorgan ( @dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net ) English5•1 year ago
All numbers in a passcode means 10 possible values for each position: 0-9. Just the letters in the phrase “second breakfast” include 12 possible values at each position which means mathematically there are more possible solutions.

But the attacker wouldn’t know about that. He does not know if the password is just characters, numbers etc…

Where do you get the 12 from? Alphabetical is 26 variations per character, not 12.

I used to have these two cats that were rapidly losing weight due to several health issues they both had.
I used to make that joke all the time whenever they gave me the “hungry eyes” after I already feed them their wet food.
Someone in the house would say “You two already had your breakfast” and then I’d say “We’ve had one breakfast, yes. What about second breakfast?” with the thick accent that the line is spoken with.
