Re: Newbie question on encryption keys

Ari <arisilverstein@xxxxxxxxx> (07-07-14 13:17:23):

Maybe I would do this implicitly, by changing the order of
passphrases to match against. Considering that a rather small
percentage of people use repetition, I wouldn't do this explicitly.

I would think that repetition is more common than that.

Among passwords, which are trivial anyway, it's probably common, like
"byebye", "johnnyjohn" or "boy boy boy". You will agree that serious
passwords generally don't use repetition. Even if they do, the patterns
aren't quite as obvious.
