    My password is unbreakable because I'm using my name followed by the digits of pi. All of them.

    Q: What are you using the graphics card for? A: Well -- terminal apps.

    "We don't store passwords unencrypted in a database because that's a terrible, terrible idea." You would be surprised.

    I'm surprised that Tobey Maguire knows this much about hacking...

    It would be interesting to revisit this topic and see how things have changed in the past 6 years.

    Back in the day, this video (along with your "how to choose a password" video) taught me a huge amount. I think an update could be very valuable for many people. It seems that Lastpass recently lost password vaults for millions of people, which I think will create a lot of interest in this subject.

    I love how the videos have this 'unscripted' feel and they feel like they're real conversations

    Really good video dude. No silly music or fast cuts and no annotation spam on the screen, subscribed.

    this video made me change my password in all my social media accounts, and bank accounts, online games, buy a new house, move to a completely isolated planet and use encrypted network connection that runs through several illegal VPN networks. I am now living happily here in Mars. Thanks.
