The Chief Product Officer at Yubico thinks "long passwords" offer little security. 2ee75ee4e4b359576257fc7d3bfc5ec75d358f10e17caf9e668e09cc032af36d That is the SHA256 of the 76-character passphrase to my master backups, plus '!'. Pwn me. I'm waiting.https://twitter.com/appenz/status/1238121735142031360 …

76 characters? You have me beat. Most of my root passwords are UUIDs or derived from them - I figure 124 bits of /dev/urandom is enough.

Of course, since I also have SSH password login disabled, even cracking it won't do you any good unless you have local console or an SSH client certificate session to "su" from...

Ah, but you see, on my most sensitive machine I use *both* key *and* password login (yes, you can do that with SSH). :-)

I already have some level of MFA: if you are not physically on the wired lab network (wifi is firewalled off) you can't even touch the SSH port on any of my machines without *also* being VPN'd in.

So to get root on the box I'm sitting at now without being physically in my house you need a VPN client cert, a SSH client cert, and a 36-character password. I think that puts me solidly outside "low hanging fruit" territory.

Yeah, that's better than me. For mine you'd need an SSH key, a 17-character password and a further 10-character password (because I don't enable remote direct root login on this box, you need to escalate from a user account).
