@Tutanota Looking at the same sheet from 2022 and am a little surprised that the same password would now be more secure than in 2022. I was expecting the opposite direction. I guess that's due to changed methodology? Or am I missing something?

@Elatan For the previous charts they assumed MD5 hashing, for 2024 they assume bcrypt.

@elatan @Tutanota This chart doesn’t mention which hash it’s targeting. The 2022 chart might be for MD5, which is much less safe than bcrypt used for the 2024 chart.
