To be fair, they still push #3randomWords too - despite it being known to be insecure for decades.
So, they clearly have a history of bad choices.

@GlasgowNWPolice held a talk on Internet Safety @ThornwoodPri for the Primary 6s and 7s.
Use 3 random words for your password and never share with anyone.

FYI @PoliceDSC @NCSC... those #3randomWords you think take quadrillions of years to break...
Try weeks... and sub Β£2k outlay with 100,000 rounds of PBKDF2. Now picture the time/cost with MD5.
Please, stop giving out this advice.

Oh dear.
As you probably know, we ran contest to get an estimate on 3 random words using 100K rounds of PBKDF2-H256. Those are crackable with about $4300 effort.
Extrapolating to MD5 doesnβt paint a pretty picture.

They're still promoting this nonsense!
If you want really strong #passwords, use a #passwordManager
Don't use #3randomWords

I noticed my @virginmedia password was rubbish within my password manager, wasn't sure why, just went to update it and this is why:( I'd recommend you get familiar with @NCSC's #3randomwords and align accordingly ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/three-β¦

Did you know, over 15% of people use their pet's name as their #password?
Change it, secure it, don't risk it. Pick #3randomwords instead. π

Weak and short passwords are a major cause of account compromises - Fortify your online accounts using #3randomwords
Adding numbers, replacing some lower case with upper case characters and special characters (Β£, !, ?) will greatly improve its strength.

No, just no. This is demonstrably awful advice, with the average 3 word password taking a mere 40 seconds to break.
Don't use #3randomwords for #passwords. Use a password manager.

Both @NCSC and @immersivelabsuk double-down on this awful #password advice.
#3RandomWords is *not* secure. Please @BBCTech - stop promoting this nonsense.
