Use an 8-char Windows NTLM password? Don't. Every single one can be cracked in under 2.5hrs

>What's "safe"?

Well clearly "PDL5HTZ8" isn't because it is only 8 characters, whereas "pendulum height" - 15 characters (or variants using a special character instead of the space character) is.

However, if the website is using something other than NTLM then "PDL5HTZ8" is probably still "safe".
