Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes. Note that the number of required characters changes from 17,145 to 18,770 with the installation of SP1. NOTE: This is not a common case; it occurs only when you configure Windows 2000 to authenticate against an MIT Kerberos domain.

And I just worked out that if I can do one character per second it will only take 5.213888889 hours to log on. This does not include time for reading my password on the extra large post-it note.:thumbs: By the time I logged on it would be time to go home again.	Sweep (90)

No one would ever bother trying to hack that password:lol: "Your password must be at least 18770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes." Only just noticed "BOTH TEXT BOXES." This means my time above can be doubled. I take it you need to type the password twice then? Not only that. In the event, by some miracle, I used a password that I previously had I would have to do it all again. BTW If I changed my password on a daily basis and did not repeat then it will take me to 84.07945205 years using 30689/365 days per year approximately. I probably should have used 30689/365.25 to include leap years. Then I may have worked out that we do not go to MIT seven days per week! Thus dividing by less days. :confused:	Sweep (90)
589766	2007-09-10 07:11:00	You'ed want to make sure you type it in correctly the first time! :lol: :lol:	CYaBro (73)
589767	2007-09-10 07:15:00	You'ed want to make sure you type it in correctly the first time! :lol: :lol: Yeah, but it would be fun if you entered the wrong password. Spend the whole 8hrs of the day entering your password. I wish i had a job like that :thumbs:	ronyville (10611)
589768	2007-09-10 07:48:00	You'ed want to make sure you type it in correctly the first time! :lol: :lol: If there are two boxes I imagine the second text box will verify the first . So I change my password and type all the characters in the Enter New Password . Then I get another box to verify what is in the first box . I think the only way out is to use a little copy and paste . . grc . com/passwords . htm" target="_blank">www . grc . com But this is only 64 characters . The text box would have to be bigger than a post-it note . :waughh: I seem to remember there are password generators though . So I get a password generator . Run this application and generate a password . The result I could copy to Word or Wordpad .	Sweep (90)
