And do you use that password on only a single site? |

If you use it on more than one, then as soon as one of those sites is |
| 16 |
compromised it will sniff your password and then your password can be |
| 17 |
used on all the others without any cpu cycles wasted on brute-forcing |
| 18 |
it at all. |

That is the weakness of random passwords. Unless you use some kind of |
| 21 |
password manager you won't actually use a unique password on each site |
| 22 |
due to difficulty with memorization... |
