Hello,
I completely understand your point. This was my first wallet experience and frankly I didn’t read enough before starting this. Classic rookie FOMO in 2017 (in May not December but same mistake anyway).
Just funny that we find the usage of Mist, Mac computer and special characters again again and again in the stories.
I played a lot with ethcracker in 2018. Then let it down. And finally try again with hashcat with this new bull run. To me it’s really more of the will to understand what the hell of a password I put since I only have fractions of Eth in this wallet.
Like colleagues here, I have created another json with the website MyEthereumWallet.org and yes I have understood enough of hashcat to crack it. So I am on a good way (I had to build a Linux bootable USB key, etc. I like learning).
But with my 2017 wallet, it’s very complicated since I am the kind of person who sets very long passwords. Somewhat like passphrase. So if I have done a typo somewhere it might be horrible to find since in my estimations the password length range is min 27 max 65 😱.
What do you think are the best strategies with long passwords like this ? My next step is to try to use Prince to combine words I use in my password/pass phrase. The main issue is that I sometimes interspersed numbers or special characters between words.
Thanks
