Which of these two passwords should be the most secure one:
1. "Jag undrar vaad som aar ett sakert"
2. "XVg6Gtzw"
The first one is far more easy to understand for me since it is a somewhat incorrectly spelled sentence (in Swedish) whereas the other is 8 very cryptic characters not easy to remember.
To me it the first one seems much more secure since it has so many more characters and therefore should take far longer to bruce force than the other. Dictionary attacks should also be rather useless since the words are incorrectly spelled and also it is a sentence and not a word. The sentence with similar mispellings would in English be something like:
"I wooonder what iss a secuure"
So what are you opinions? .
