Definitely, more ridiculous and unrealistic, but that's TV. I'd like to see less romance and more realistic situations.
Is that the show with the drop dead good looking girl, Page?

I learned in a recent college computer class how long programs take to attain different lengths passwords. I wished I knew where to look up the stats, but 50 characters would take many many years! It was hard to believe how fast the shorter (6 characters, or less) passwords could be hacked.

Gibson's page allows you to try out varying passwords and see how many days, years or centuries it would take for a brute force cracking of password combinations.

Sounds good. Until the program forces you to include a cap., number, special character, etc. 
It already has a cap letter, and change the (to) to 2 and end it with a ^ caret instead of a period.

Thought I would try your suggestion. This is the result of one of my various password (10 characters). I feel somewhat secure.

Yes. Fortunately, there are lots of "drop dead good looking girl(s)" on TV. I wonder who sprays the pants onto her legs.

Yes, a Scorpion watcher. I wish they'd get off all that social interaction within the group.
I too watch Scorpion and kind of get tired of the social interaction within the show but I'm afraid it would be canceled without it.
And yes, Katharine McPhee is one hot lady. Remember first seeing her on American idol in either 2005 or 06. She was my choice to win but finished runner-up.

During a company’s recent password audit, it was found that one employee was using the following password:
"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"
When asked why she had such a long password, she said they were told that it had to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital!
"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"

That's funny.

Excellent! That will come in handy throughout your day. I get by with 3.1415.
I usually let my calculator handle it.
I've been trying to get pi memorized to 60 places past the decimal, but I'm kind of stuck at about 54. There are actually some people who know pi to 50,000 places or more, still though they sometimes forget where they left their car keys!

I'm getting better at building long passwords these days, since they want you to have a capital letter, a number, a punctuation mark, a smiley face, Prince's name symbol, and an Egyptian petroglyph in it.
LOL!!
