Lost your wallet password again?

[spendabit]

Could you use this service? Not a bad venture if you ask me...

If you're going to give it a try you'll probably need some of these: https://spendabit.co/go?q=gpu

I thought the wallets couldn't be hacked. He has a 30% success rate. That's pretty high.

Dont be silly, they recover wallets from partial passwords, they dont just hack any wallet.

If your wallet's password is in safe location, then it's most likely uncrackable.

I bet most of the time good hackers don't even need sophisticated software, just a good partial and a dash of mined social data.

Hi
Dave Bitcoin here - the subject of the CoinDesk.com article, http://www.coindesk.com/meet-man-will-hack-long-lost-bitcoin-wallet-money/

Yes, just to confirm, if you have a strong password on your wallet, then it is not possible to 'hack' the wallet. If you completely forget your password, then your funds will be forever inaccessible...

Where walletrecoveryservices.com can help is when you have a wallet and some idea about what the password might be. (or if you have put a 'weak' password on your wallet). In this case, often we can decrypt your wallet for you and recover your password.

Cheers
Dave

Thank you Dave, this is a nice and needed service.

If the person is dumb enough to put a password of his dog's name or his neighbors name, then he might deserve it.

Passwords should always be separate from your social info.

The first thing to consider is why finding a service which restores lost password. Why not make necessary measures in advance, so that passwords are never be forgoteen. Follow the good password guidelines and keep them secure. Always make a strong password with letters, digits, Caps etc etc.

I think the rate or was likely to be hacked it depends on the security of your wallet. there are many ways to hack.
any phishing, viruses, and etc. if you do not add security as 2FA in your wallet. it could be possible to get higher hacked. so use the best possible security. if you do not want your bitcoin stolen

I think the VAST majority of people out there use weak passwords due to ignorance, convenience, laziness and lack of creativity. I'd like to think that us Bitcoin folk are in the minority though and better understand the problem/stakes and go the extra mile.

Yes, password must  meet the complexity requirement.
It should be 8 digits with special characters to avoid brute force attack

You mean something like this?

Code:

Instead of this:

It is unnecessary too long password (but it does not hurt). Even the size of bitcoin address like 30 random characters is more than enough, and nobody can realistically brute force it, I believe 2^160 possibilites to try .

But your right, using few known words as password is weak.

Something as short as 8 character password, specially if combining a couple capslocks on/off characters, couple numbers, and one or 2 special characters like a dot or a slash or something, it's damn hard to crack, in fact I think it's considered practically impossible.

I would never personally trust services that claim they can recover your money, chances are it will end up in some scam where they steal your money if they are even able to get it back. Call me paranoid.

8 characters are you crazy? That is very insecure.

Even if you put symbols in it. The current standard is at least 15 characters with symbols and caps lock!

A 8 character password can be brute forced by a supercomputer.

Yeah, I'd vote for at least 12 characters until quantum computers come out... then you may need a few trillion.

It's true i know people who bruting accounts in different serivces but it's not so fast how you think. For 7 characters password selection will
continue for 6 months i think

I dont know whats with the fud with this quantum crap.

I see all hype around it, starting with those new age nutjobs.

I dont believe any quantum shit will come out, it's just a hype, and the quantum computer is pseudo-science.

There isnt any hard evidence that it's physically possible to build one.

[BellaBitBit]

Talk about niche profession.  This is a great service and I am sure this will be used for many other coins as well. He has already helped 1000 people and I am sure he will be hiring due to demand.

Quantum computers are real and they're already in use, D-Wave has a hybrid quantum-classical system that has been sold to various titans including Google and NASA. Pure quantum computers systems are right around the corner. The implications are that encryption could become obsolete.

In that case,cant we simply use forgot password option to recover our password?

The question is how a hacker is supposed to know potential victims dog's name or his neighbor's name?
Hacking is not guessing password it is more technical

Thats not a quantum computer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Systems

It just uses quantum annealing to go around the bits fast enough to emulate the superposition, but it doesnt uses qbits.

At this point, quantum computers are pseudoscience.

But quantum enhanced computers might be possible.

Look at the critics, it's probably a scam:
