minus-squareJackbyDevlinkEnglish8•2 months agoGood luck remembering random bytes. That infographic is about memorable passwords.
minus-square@suslink3•2 months agoyou memorize the password required to decrypt whatever container your RSA key is in. Hopefully.
minus-square@suslink2•2 months agoI think this specific chain of replies is talking about that actually… though it is a pretty big tangent from the original post

minus-square@suslink2•2 months agothe direct chain I can see is “can you string words to form a valid RSA key” “I would hope so, [xkcd about password strength]” “words are the least secure way to generate random bytes” “Good luck remembering random bytes. That infographic is about memorable passwords.” “You memorize your RSA keys?” so between comments 2 and 3 and 4 I’d say it soundly went past the handcrafted RSA key stuff.

Sure but we aren’t talking about that
