Retitled for clarity, nominating for re-opening, since there's an objective answer - Yes, password attacks are real even with Fail2Ban.

Changed "to try that" into "to try that kind of attack".

| Feb 3, 2016 at 12:43 | comment | added | SantiBailors | @Natanael My question is only about password guessing, that is something where the supposed weakness ("guessability") of a password comes into play. Password reuse - or anything involving any knowledge of existing passwords - is not relevant to my question. | |
| Feb 3, 2016 at 12:29 | comment | added | Natanael | Both. Password reuse in third party insecure systems will allow access in one try when they use the existing password databases they've gotten against your users. | |
