You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

Using emoji is a bad idea.

Here is why (without a password manager which removes the hard, but not the incompatible) :

  • some emojis can be inexistent on other devices. So you may not be able to log in on another device.
  • An emoji is hard to remember if you need to type them with an alt code, while also being easy to crack.
  • For a computer, and emoji is nothing else than a character. So hard to type, easy to crack.
  • More likely you use an emoji someone else used. So it could maybe be easier to crack.

And you don’t need to believe me https://nordpass.com/blog/emoji-passwords/

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
