Not that his IQ is low persay, he's just cocky and figured no one would ever guess his password.
Granted think about it truthfully, the password itself is pretty genius as simple as it might look
have to consider when someone is attempting to obtain a person's password, there are a lot of variables. letters, numbers, in some cases cases sensitive and then the random symbols.
So even though we see p@ssw0rd and laugh are how simple it looks, it's honestly a pretty strong password because it uses a symbol and a number in it. if antyhing it shows how scary smart he can be in that respect maybe ! could be used as an i, @ a $ s and when you think of how easy it is to remember a password if you integrate symbols into a simple word, you actually create a strong password.
password is an instant unlock, but p@ssw0rd is 19mins, granted ya it's low, but it's low because his password is short,
But of course, regardless of his password, the fact he did the dumb thing of giving it away is what is most amusing about it. That's like espionage 101, never give out any important credentials.
If he'd been any resemblance of smart that password would unlock his offline password manager at best.
Yes, 19 minutes to crack is better than 0 minutes. Any half-assed person has a max length password consisting of all characters available. With the current technology there isn't enough time in the world to crack those.
"Pretty genious"... FFS, read up on dictionary attacks and most used passwords to understand why 19 minutes is an unrealistically long time to crack it.
