Wrong. Modern hacking techniques are very sophisticated and, since it only takes minutes to hack a
password without special characters, it is easy to try this first.
Without a password manager, maintaining good password practices is an exceptionally tedious task
(because you use a different password for each of your logins, don’t you?). CodeMeter Cloud hides all
of this complexity, generating not only high-quality passwords, but also high-quality user ids, but not
displaying them to the end user, so they are unable to compromise them.
Of course, security in modern web-based systems is such that even if you try a brute force attack on a
user and password combination, you won’t get past a small number of attempts before the underlying
web services start to slow down their response or even block the attacker, rendering the attack obsolete.
CodeMeter Cloud further frustrates attackers by not exposing user and password information.
