  1. The takeaway for me (apart from short is useless) is that any "system" applied to your password is wrong and vulnerable. Writing down and locking up a random and long password is still better than being "smart" about it. But then again, we're all lazy.

  2. Something occurred to me: hashes are not unique. A passwords found to match a hash is not necessarily the password the user uses. But it does not matter, you will get in with whatever word matches the hash being checked against.
