Thanks for this, I knew the concept but I’ve always had a hard time putting it to words. Yeah, its not like they increase the entropy or anything. Same with diacritics

Reminds me of when Michael tells Dwight he and Jim make different amounts: its not about higher or lower, its just different

If your password is onky made up of numbers and there’s no or a faulty anti-replay feature, you can just keep tryinguntil you iterate to the right password.

People used to do it with 4 digit PINs
