Copy/Paste Network Password?
Hey,
I should be getting my K3 around Sept 10th and I wanted to know if it had copy/paste. I have a Steve Gibson approved 64 character password for my home network. Does the K3 have copy/paste abilities? I can't imagine typing 64 characters without dedicated number keys. |

You only have to type it once ... unless you're going to change it

There are dedicated number keys (ALT plus top row of letters), they just aren't labelled. ALT+QWERTYUIOP => 1234567890. Or you can use SYM table. You'll get the hang of it. |

A pass phrase with a mix of upper and lower case, numbers and maybe a symbol or two is far easier to remember and type and no more likely to be cracked. |

A 64-char pw would be a hassle, though, if you couldn't copy and paste it in. |

I read a study the other day that said a 12 character PW was about the optimum length. An 8 character one can be cracked with the correct tools in a fairly short time, but statistically a 12 character PW would require a battery of computers working in tandem for years to break. A 64 character PW, though virtually impossible to crack, is over kill. And I bet you have it in a file someplace so you can copy and paste. If you do then it could be 6400 characters long and it will get cracked. |

A 64 character password does seem a bit excessive, but I'm a bit biased since my network is wide open.
If I secured my wireless network, what would the mail-man and the cable-guy do for internet access on their lunch-breaks?? |

Def overkill and there are plenty of open networks in my area but I'll work around it. Thanks for the replies. |
