gollark: This is where the advice to have complex passwords come from, although it's actually terrible because "arbitrary dictionary word plus some weird characters" is low entropy.

gollark: If your password contains enough random information in some way, it takes unreasonable amounts of computing time/attempts to bruteforce, so you can't really.
