Maybe it's more like 70 20 or so, but even then with the rules for patterns, that probably reduces the entropy significantly. It doesn't seem like any of these password managers truly use all 95 printable ASCII characters, but I was just using that number for illustration. I always wondered if we're going random anyway with a password manager, is there really a point in putting so many rules? If there's all these rules then a 20 character password isn't really 95 20 or whatever. It looks like they almost have a more "random" distribution where each character can literally be anything rather than a bunch of letters with a few symbols and numbers interspersed in.
No hyphens, underscores, parenthesis, period, etc.īitwarden looks kinda interesting though and has a HUGE character set of symbols. LastPass seems a bit more random in terms of the pattern where you can get a few interconnected symbols although their character set is limited too. to make up for the limited character set. Also there's a significantly reduced character set in both Dashlane and 1Password, although 1P seems to have a few more symbols _. There doesn't ever seem to be "too many" symbols and it seems carefully controlled to have a maximum number of symbols. To me, at least just eyeing it, both 1Password and Dashlane seem to use some sort of formulaic password where there's text and numbers separated by symbols here and there. I took a look at 4 password generators and their randomness in generating passwords.
