You guys are totally right and i agree with your arguments. But the thing is… i have quite a few ideas about the password i used. Every day i run BTCrecover for several hours. Next to this i try to re-think the process of 2014. When i created te password. For example i know that te creation of the password took a while after trying several combinations. I know that i went on to create a ‘strong’ password. After several tries i had an combination of one symbol, two numbers and probably seven letters (including a capital). This probably still didn’t result in a strong password so i doubled every character.

If everything went like above than i firstly created a password of 10 characters. Because 11 characters should result in ‘strong’. Then i doubled all characters (resulting in 20 char) cause i got frustrated.

I probably know the symbol en numbers. And i do know a list or pool of passwords i commonly used. But it is very important for me to know when the password manager went from ‘medium’ to ‘strong’.

Although i am becoming a pro at BTCrecover and calculate all possibilities in advance i appreciate your tips!

The strange thing is: If anyone makes an account today, for a Blockchain wallet, the following rules apply:
- afer typing the first character the system says: Use at least 8 characters, a mix of letters, numbers and symbols.
- only after typing the 11th character the build-in ‘password manager’ says: ‘strong’.

I find this quite confusing but assume it’s still the same as back in 2014.

So, to simplify the above text: “How many characters does a strong password contain”? A ‘strong’ password according to the (build-in) password advisor within the ios blockchain app, back in august 2014?

Is that a minimum of 11 characters?

To add to this. I think you want to know the length of the password so that you will get the idea how long the password is. Can you try and remember the email you use that time and search for it. It can help you. I am saying this because I saw a space for email in archive nc50lc post.

I have the original email from 2014. The email with a link to login. That link isn’t working anymore. In which way could this email help to retrieve the password? Are you saying that i can find the character lenght of the password in this way?

Also i found the original webpages via an internet archive machine. I am wondering if this was the same as the ios app i used back then.

Thanx for the replies!

Hii to you all,

Like a few more people i lost the password of my Blockchain account. I created this in august 2014 with the use of the ios Blockchain app. I have an idea of the possible password and make use of BTCrecover. I seem to remember that i created a ‘strong’ password as indicated by the (Blockchain app) ‘password assistent’. I probably used a capital letter, numbers, punctuation mark and letters.

My question is: What is the minimum total characters for a ‘strong’ password generated in the ios Blockchain app, back in August 2014? And what did the (build in) password assistent look like?

I don’t have the above mentioned Iphone anymore. Same as the computer i used back then, for the Itunes back-ups.

I’m looking forward for your replies.
