Assuming we can use both lower- and uppercase letters (52 in total), with the ten digits and the underscore that gives us 63 characters to work with. A random 16-character combination of these gives us 95 bits of entropy (rounding down), which is secure enough by modern standards, at least for a home router.

Regardless, I understand the frustration of arbitrary limitations preventing you from choosing a secure password in a way that you’re comfortable with.

That’s what I said

About the current “pentagram” symbol:

However, its design is a little too complex to be used at small sizes, as you would in text or in a button. It’s also only available in image form, not as a typographical character.

We’ve used it as a tiny icon below posts from other instances and I’ve never found it problematic. I think it’s already too well established to replace just because we can’t type it. Besides, the three stars feel to me not distinct enough. Pushing Unicode Consortium to add it to the standard when the time comes is a batter way.

I do think however that it would be worth coming up with a proper name for the current symbol.

I know, it’s just a meme, but… The article. It’s about clocks during exams specifically, when students are under pressure and more likely to misread the time on an analogue clock.

I mean, that’s how cautionary tales such as Black Mirror are supposed to work

It’s all fun and games, until you need a warranty disclaimer.

Lucky ten thousand

I kinda wish it was calculated for the world instead of the US though

I’m still not sure what’s the difference between Hot and Active. ELI5, anybody?
