Yeah, these guys trying to say a 6 character password is so uber aren't thinking like a cracker. We know how the quality of valve coding can be... a good example is the sentry/dispenser/sapper exploit that was so wide spread and still has usable exploit potential on some levels, which I won't go into here. But I will pose this question... what happens to your dictionary level password when a bug or exploit renders the previously mentioned cvars useless? ... anybody serious about security tries to make use of multi-factor and multi-level authentications where possible.
