discover, an intruder or <strong>hacker<\/strong> would have to attempt a <strong>brute force attack<\/strong>, by trying every possible combination.\u00a0 By using a larger number of potential characters in each position of the password, it takes more time to try all the possible combinations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example, if only lower case letters are used, a password of one character length has 26 possibilities.\u00a0 If upper and lower case letters are used, there are 52 possibilities.\u00a0 If numbers are also included, 10 more possibilities are created, for a total of 62.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Including keyboard <strong>special characters<\/strong>, such as symbols and punctuation, creates 95 possibilities per character to create a strong password.\u00a0 Special characters are<br \/>\n!@#$%^&amp;*()-_=+`~[{\\|}];:'&#8221;,.\/&lt;&gt;? and space.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

128 characters are possible.\u00a0 Only 95 are printable characters, including space, the others are control characters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When 8-bit ASCII characters are used, there are 2^8 or 256 possible characters.\u00a0 Another 95 or more printable characters are available, known as <strong>extended ASCII characters<\/strong>.\u00a0 ASCII (American Standard Code for

justify;\">Extended ASCII characters do not appear as keys on the <strong>keyboard<\/strong>.\u00a0 They are created by typing a series of decimal numbers known as an <strong>Alt code<\/strong>.\u00a0 For example, to create the <strong>copyright symbol \u00a9<\/strong>, hold down the <strong>Alt key<\/strong>, then type 0169 on the <strong>numeric keypad<\/strong> keys, with the numeric lock on, then release the Alt key.\u00a0 (See character map image above)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note: Using the number keys on the main keyboard will not work, but there are other methods to use, including cut and paste from the <strong>Character Map<\/strong>.\u00a0 Some laptops provide numeric input by holding down both the Alt key and an FN key.\u00a0 An external USB numeric keypad may be added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All of the Alt code numbers may be found in the lower right corner of the <strong>Character Map<\/strong> when a key is selected.\u00a0 In

<strong>password cracking software<\/strong> do not use 8-bit ASCII, so they would <strong>never break<\/strong> the password.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adding extended ASCII characters doubles the number of possible choices in each character position of the password from 95 to 190 or more, making each character <strong>twice as strong<\/strong>, and taking very much longer to crack a long strong password by a <strong>brute force attack<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each character added to the password also has at least 190 possible combinations, so a 6 character extended ASCII password has 190^6 or <strong>47 trillion<\/strong> total possible combinations rather than standard ASCII with 95^6 or <strong>735 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A <strong>strong password<\/strong> may be created by making it longer and by including extended ASCII characters using Alt codes.\u00a0 A <strong>weak password<\/strong> uses only numbers, such as 123456.\u00a0 There are only 10 possible combinations for each position, so the total possible combinations would be only 10^6 or <strong>1 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As computers (CPU and GPU) become faster, it becomes faster for a hacker to try every possible combination in a brute force attack.\u00a0 But, a long strong password would take years, decades or centuries to crack.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some websites and systems also include blocking software as another layer of

So, for the 4-digit PIN example, the effective entropy is reduced from 14 bits to 13 bits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KeePassXC<\/strong> has a built-in <strong>random password generator<\/strong> and it estimates the password strength in entropy bits, using an algorithm known as <strong>zxcvbn<\/strong> (bottom row keyboard sequence).<\/p>\n<p>For reference, federal government agencies used to use <strong>80 bits<\/strong> as the minimum entropy for confidential documents, but raised it to <strong>112 bits<\/strong> in 2014, when some older weaker encryption algorithms were cracked.<\/p>\n<p>So, you can also use long strong random unique passwords, stored in a password manager, with a minimum entropy of 80 or 112 bits, to protect critical documents and accounts with federal strength security.<\/p>\n<p>The random password generator software developed and released by the <strong>National Security Agency (NSA)<\/strong> uses a default setting of <strong>160 bits<\/strong>, and instructions say it can be lowered by the user to a minimum of <strong>112 bits<\/strong> for less secure federal documents.<\/p>\n<p>I use password lengths of 16 to 32 characters, depending on my <strong>security classification<\/strong> of the document or type of account and the <strong>threat level<\/strong>.\u00a0 Using a round number of 5 bits per random character, a 16-character password provides 80 bits of entropy, and a 32-character password provides 160 bits of entropy.\u00a0 There is no beneficial reason to use random passwords longer than 32 characters.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for customers, there are still some websites that do not support passwords longer than 8 or 12 characters. If an alternate vendor is available, choose a new vendor that allows longer passwords for stronger account security.\u00a0 Let the old vendor know that they lost a customer due to weak security practices.<\/p>\n<p>Higher entropy values provide extra protection and longer useful life against advancing technology with faster computers, GPUs, and <strong>quantum computers<\/strong>.\u00a0 When using a password manager, you do not need to memorize account passwords, so using <strong>high-entropy random passwords<\/strong> provides a form of <strong>free extra protection<\/strong> against brute force attacks.\u00a0 Criminals will crack and exploit vulnerable weaker passwords and compromised passwords first.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>crime prevention<\/strong>, use high-entropy random passwords for <strong>target hardening<\/strong> against criminal <strong>hackers<\/strong>.\u00a0 There is normally no need to change a high-entropy password, unless a compromise is known or suspected, advances in technology have weakened password security and increased the threat level, or you choose to make it longer and stronger for greater peace of mind, or your <strong>password policy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Visit our website for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abclegaldocs.com\/blog-Colorado-Notary\/mobile-notary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-slimstat-async=\"false\" data-slimstat-callback=\"false\" data-slimstat-tracking=\"false\" data-slimstat-type=\"2\" data-slimstat-clicked=\"false\">Colorado Springs Mobile Notary<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0services or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abclegaldocs.com\/blog-Colorado-Notary\/colorado-notary-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-slimstat-async=\"false\" data-slimstat-callback=\"false\" data-slimstat-tracking=\"false\" data-slimstat-type=\"2\" data-slimstat-clicked=\"false\">Colorado Notary Training<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>classes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Last-Modified Date 2023-11-18] minor edits, added entropy information<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a9 Copyright 2016\u00a0 ABC Legal Docs, LLC\u00a0 All rights reserved.\u00a0 Do not copy.\u00a0 Citations welcome.\u00a0 Terms of Use apply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strong Password with Extended ASCII Characters There are several methods for making a strong password.\u00a0 Avoiding words found in a dictionary, Wikipedia, personal information, dates, patterns, sequences, lyrics, excerpts, quotations, short and common passwords, compromised passwords and variations, using a combination of upper case and lower case letters, numbers and special characters, and creating a long unique password for each account.
