There is one aspect of this that can help significantly: we have the guy that created the password. We are creatures of habit. The job can be eased by knowing usual passwords client likes to use and ruleing out !1DCrypt1ng complex passwords if are unlikely used. Nothings easy!

I think we all get the point now. My issue was that einsteins post was quite misleading and suggested that modern office passwords could be easily guessed - which is not the case.

Most of the Office work regular people set simple passwords = easier cracking

How many percent is the "most"
And how short/easy are the "simple passwords"
I would like to see this statistics


Percentage for those simple passwords were like 70-80% Min.
Doc/Xls Most

i did not mislead anyone here, but, i gave a suggestion in ONE WORD, as you saw,

Now, for those complex passwords i Agree with you here, and for your Info. Adding one SPACE on the middle will lead to FOREVER without going into complex

but my point was very clear, Newbies/Office Employees (my cases) were using very simple passwords easy to crack/remember, drag n drop and bingo

am i simple here or not?
:? :?

When I said statistics I meant the actual facts not something from the top of your head

forgot to mention, the reason for discussion is that:
Everybody has a point, either you convince me or i convince you

BUT

if you see none of both worked, better not going any more into it.
