@EvanCarslake: I think Chloe meant that, now that user3147268 has posted the phrase fori:=1;i<5;i++{fmt.Println(i)} on the Internet, it has been added to the "dictionaries" of many password crackers — just like, despite its intrinsic entropy/strength, "correct horse battery staple" is a bad password, because everybody knows to try it. But Chloe misread the question, which asks, "Is it secure to use a small amount of memorable source code as a 'passphrase'? As an example, take ..."

@Chloe I think the OP meant having fori:=1;i<5;i++{fmt.Println(i)} as their password, because it is easy to remember and even more difficult than traditional passwords with just a few letter-number-symbol combination.

| Apr 11, 2015 at 6:33 | comment | added | Display Name | using Perl is basically the same as "normal" password, because any weird character sequence can be treated as perl code (at least, with some modifications), isn't it? | |

| Apr 10, 2015 at 21:41 | comment | added | Chloe | NO! Chrysanthou had no trouble cracking the SHA1 hash that corresponded to "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn1" for one simple reason. This is a fictional occult phrase from the H. P. Lovecraft short story "The Call of Cthulhu," and it was contained in this Wikipedia entry. If your source is on the internet, your password is crackable! | |

| Apr 10, 2015 at 17:36 | comment | added | user3147268 | I currently do so for a long time but this question just made me curious. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 17:26 | comment | added | Stephen Touset | Just use a password manager like KeePass, LastPass, or 1Password. This is essentially a solved problem. | |
