On the other hand, you "secure" your accounts by using 6 to 10 characters passwords... Don't you see my point yet ? Instead of passwords, consider using passphrases. Most websites limits the size of your "passwords" to 256 characters, make a good use of it ! Since bruteforce attacks tries every combination possible of letters, the longer you passphrase the better, see? As for dictionnaries attacks, they will be totally screwed by a passphrase of more than a dozen words... My point is, since spaces are allowed in passwrods, use them. A phrase like "Daffy duck never drinks lemonade" will be about one billion harder to guess/bruteforce than any 10 letters/special characters/whatever combination you may choose !
