It turns out that emoticons are considered a symbol, so they can beef up your passwords and make them more secure in combination with letters and numbers. Here’s how.
If a password can’t be broke in 1,000 years it is utterly unbreakable in any effective sense of the term. No one’s going to run the program for a thousand years because even if they did it wouldn’t be relevant at the end of the process.
Well, the rate passwords can be tested at now may not always be the rate passwords can be tested at later. Computers were, at one point, growing exponentially faster in terms of processing power. There are still several emerging technologies out there that could cause significant speed-ups.
It’s certainly better to future-proof your passwords.
