    Not really, you have a better chance if you use a completely random set of words. I remember hearing of someone getting their bitcoin stolen from their wallet despite their password being from an obscure Afrikaans poem.

    Precisely why I salted it.

      I have to look into password salting. I don’t use it but it’s interesting. Do you use a unique salt for each password or the same one for all?

        Always something a bit unique, can’t make it predictable if someone managed to dump a list of em. This also isn’t the formula I used just an example. Random words is also better if your memory is decent, they can even be your salt.
