This isn't an example of how modern English is going to the dogs. Less has been used this way for well over a thousand years—nearly as long as there's been a written English language. But for more than 200 years almost every usage writer and English teacher has declared such use to be wrong. The received rule seems to have originated with the critic Robert Baker, who expressed it not as a law but as a matter of personal preference. Somewhere along the way—it's not clear how—his preference was generalized and elevated to an absolute, inviolable rule.
so step 1 is actually "learn a long, obscure quote by heart" because obviously it can't be a common quote or it completely breaks the method, and the only quotes you're likely to know are common
you're right this is so easy
you’re still confusing the example with what it exemplifies.
In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn't add any meaningful entropy.
At this rate it’s rather clear that you’re unable to parse simple sentences,
somebody's a little spicy over the fact that they gave terrible advice :(
I use NFTs for a variety of productive purposes. You may not, and that's fine, but that's just you. You can't dismiss anything that you personally don't have a use for as "wasteful."
I don't know how you're meant to remember that "Works" and "Mighty" are capitalized
In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn't add any meaningful entropy.
If you try to harden it further, by using more words
Yours doesn't scale due to step 3.
On the other hand, much like battery staple, it's pretty easy to make up a visual or story in your head to connect the words.
Also, why would you need to scale this past 6 words? At that point it's already more likely that your password is compromised via a keylogger or similar than anything else.
Even in English, a language that typically uses short words, your method requires ~30 characters per password.
I'll accept this as a downside of the method, but honestly a website that limits your password character length to under 30 is probably doing some other weird shit that isn't good.
Also, the only time you should really be using this method is if for some reason you don't want to use a password manager. Not many scenarios like that that also limit characters.
yet the harder to remember
I feel like the exact opposite is true? Pretty easy to remember "defenestrate". Much easier than remembering whichm turns into a 3 in your method.
The 11 characters password is not the suggestion, but an example,
I'm aware how examples work. It's 11 characters long and already too hard to remember.
Steps 2 and 3 of your method already make it way too hard to remember
Just pick like 6 random, unconnected, reasonably uncommon words and make that your entire password
Capitalize the first letter and stick a 1 at the end
The average English speaker has about 20k words in their active vocab, so if you run the numbers there's more entropy in that than in your 11 character suggestion.
Alternatively use your method but deliberately misquote it slightly and then just keep it in its full form.
the citation is because the only way you could claim ai isn't in a hype cycle at the moment is if you don't know that that's a defined term within tech spaces
