    Well, why not? :) Plus, where I live, it's still pretty safe.

    So it appears. According to this chart, it would take approximately 19960419 billion years. Go figure.

    The above table shows time to crack via brute-forcing given hashes with modern hardware with the following assumptions. This was the exact same set-up we used for the MD5 cracking research – it’s achievable for most bad actors looking to crack an organization’s passwords, although for optimal results you’d ideally want more power than we’re using here:
    • Hardware: the Nvidia RTX 4090. Currently the best value-for-money generally available hardware to perform password cracking attacks with. This is a flagship gaming GPU which can be purchased by consumers, and is largely affordable with an MSRP of around $1599 USD. In order to generate this data, we’re using a hypothetical Nvidia RTX 4090.
    • Software: Hashcat. Generally, a stock RTX 4090 will achieve approximately 164 GH/s in Hashcat (that can be thought of as 164 000 000 000 password guesses/second).
    The above hardware assumptions may sound expensive; however, with ransomware payments in the millions, the cost can seem minimal. Even still, some attackers may find faster and cheaper results with cloud services.

    But why would you leave it unlocked? Is there any benefit to having it unlocked? I was just wondering.

    If that ever happens, maybe you should worry about your own back instead of worrying about me getting hacked. :) We'll likely be all screwed.

    TradingView has 2 passes. One for their own platform and the other for linking to your broker. I ain't too concerned about the first one. It's the second one that showed up on Google's trove of leaked passwords. Anyway, I toughened it up so even if it gets leaked I feel safe knowing that it will take some 15 million years to crack it. That's right, go ahead ya punk, just make my day! :sneaky:
