Comment on YSK The World’s Most Common Passwords

Wait it’s not? I remember some people in the industry recommend this sort of password albeit with variation of other random words as it’s pretty strong and would take a very long time to crack.

Indeed, just four impersonal words is a great password. Mix up the capitalization and it’s even better.

If it’s a bunch of words found in any dictionary then with or without character substitution it’ll be easy to crack.

  It’s not. A dictionary has on the order of ≈100,000 (10^5) words in it. Picking five words entirely at random gives you 10^25 combinations, which is about the complexity of 14 alphanumeric characters. So pretty secure.
