Passwords lack of security?

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

Hi everyone. I noticed today whilst logging in when I typed my password incorrectly this morning that you can login with your password every if you don't use the correct caps/small characters.

What I mean is you can set your password as - PaSsWoRd - and you can login with - password or PASSWORD.

Does anyone else see this as an issue or is it just me?

As long as you choose something completely random with letters and numbers, does it matter?

It just means it's not case sensitive. Not an issue really.

I don't see how a password not being case sensitive is a security issue... but hey ho.

It's all to do with the level of security a website database employs.

For example, a non-case sensitive alpha-numeric system is twice as likely to succumb to a brute force hacking attack than a case sensitive alpha-numeric system.

As a comparable, Diceware password systems are 125 less likely to succumb to a brute force hacking attack than a case sensitive system and 250 times less likely than a non-case sensitive system.

It all boils down to cost. If you can enter your password in lower or upper case the site is employing a cheaper database for it's security than if you had to input it in a mixture of upper/lower case symbols that also included numbers.
