Yet more keen links one might want to share

OK, here's a neat link. This is a utility to check if your LinkedIn password was one of the leaked ones. You type in your password and it converts it to a hashed password and compares it to the list of leaked passwords in hashed format. That's maybe a useful tool. Maybe not. Maybe it's safe to type your password into this random utility, and maybe it isn't. But, the reason I found this to be a neat link is that you can type in random passwords and see if other people have used that password. It's a way to see how unique a password is.

Go ahead. Try it. Just make up some passwords and see if any of the 6 million other people out there have come up with that same password for their account.

I thought I was clever with some of the passwords I use, but they are all used by someone else too on LinkedIn.

Some random actual passwords I've found just by typing shit in:
fluffy
tiger21
undertoad
monster
glatt1
glatt11
loveyou
fuckyou
skippy
washington
sillyboy
wilding
doglover
catlover
sugartits
suckme
asslips

Maybe I should come up with better passwords.
