    This is very low entropy anyway, because it lacks randomness. Taking all western characters and repeating them 32+ times is a piece of cake. Even with proper brute-force protection, that would probably work out (for a targeted attack 100% anyway).

    It is like having a (literal) key as your password - with a limited set of shapes (character) it can have and a discrete lenght you can just guess.

      For those very rare times where I am going to have to remember a password, it’s often just one of my kids’ first names, but with the first consonant repeated 42 times

      It’s a fuckton of entropy and I can remember it tripping balls

        Thanks. Nice emails you got there. I can’t believe there are so many unread! How do you live like this?
