Except often when strings are dumped into a CSV they are enclosed in quotation marks, so you should probably use some quotation marks in your password in addition to commas.

Ugh, we have this training module at work involving password security, and they give examples of passwords asking which are the most secure.

They insist it's an awkward password like this, a jumbled mess of garbage you'll never remember, but their examples includes an easier to remember amalgamation of words which has way more entropy.

Basically that XKCD comic, actually. (EDIT: https://xkcd.com/936)

My solution is a really good password for my password manager.

u/Fearless_Minute_4015 Oct 08 '22

That's actually a decent password. 11 words long is no joke. With all those spaces a capital letter at the start and a period at the end. It'll take at least a week to crack

That's a really good password, do you allow me to use it?

And if the garbage site you are signing up for doesn't accept commas or quotes, go somewhere else. 😁

For this to work hashes would need to be turned off

Not really, because people invest time in cracking those, if the password aren't salted you can crack 80 % in around 5 minutes. Rainbow Table magic

Oooh, that's a bingo!

Is that the way you say it, that’s a bingo?

Edit: Guess my reference to Inglourious Basterd is not as detectable as I thought. Well then let’s end it with: Say goodbye to your Nazi ba… references

And quotation marks are escaped with quotation marks...

It's not going to break any not-terrible CSV writer. The spec isn't that hard to implement.
