ehhhh, I'm no expert but I'm seriously doubting the time it would take to crack those. Personally I try not to use anything less than a 128 bit quality. Those passwords are ...
- eigenvectorconfused - 46 bits
- flirtbleakly - 52 bits
- luxuryfrontier - 38 bits
Use those passwords on a NXT wallet and see how long your wallet last. ;) It's nothing to do with NXT security, they're just weak passwords. I remember reading about a lot of people losing their funds back in the day for using weak passwords like the above. NXT started recommending or requiring not sure which, 35 chars minimum on passwords.
It's no different on your STEEM wallet here either. I would not trust my wallet here with passwords like that. The difference here is that you have some time to do something if you're Powered Up. Again I'm no expert, but I read enough horror stories to never use passwords less than 128 bit where I could.
No they are weak passwords... I agree and wouldn't use passwords with less than 4 words (based on the above somewhat spurious analysis).
Just illustrating the point. It's good to try to get memorable passwords using concatenated words, but you probably need at least four words.
