There's not much point in complaining about joke websites (it presents just a single password that is always the same) like this existing, simply because statistically it is expected that some people will build them for a laugh. They are harmful though, because some people enjoy spreading fake advice like this; and often they will gain traction.

For the more ethically inclined amongst us the best course of action is probably to add this 'password' to some of the lists of common passwords out there, to help password strength utilities to filter it out on the level of 'correct horse battery staple' ­— an excellent password in itself, but used as an oft quoted example and thus not suitable for actual use.

perhaps a better way to make this joke is to randomly generate a strong password every time the page is loaded-- who's going to look at it more than once anyway?

I reloaded it a couple times to verify that it was a joke. Unfortunately, my Grandma was looking over my shoulder and is now using this password on Facebook.

And then what's the joke?

The joke is it's the same every time.

Maybe have it generate a new password seeded by a browser fingerprint. That way it looks like the joke works but it doesn't do any damage.

Which would basically be a password that is randomly generated from very poor quality entropy, giving almost as much insecurity as the current example, while fooling even more people (because it changes). Nice idea.

Generate a real strong password and store it in a cookie then.

Or just don't and leave it as a joke the way it is, I think we're over-engineering this.

That being said there's an actual password generator "feature" in duckduckgo for some reason: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!password&t=ffab&ia=answer

I can't really imagine why anybody would want to use that though...

[woodrowbarlow]

what's wrong with using a password generator? or are you just saying that having it built into a search engine is pointless?

This kills the joke.
