Yes, you are correct Big “L”….but not Macademia, or Cashew nuts. Not even Walnuts. Not Pistachios, nor Leechi Nuts, or even hex nuts. I would mention what kind of nuts, but I don’t have the huevos to be so bold to speak of such sensitive and rude things.

adding 120 3-digit combos, 45 2-digit combos and 10 1-digit combos yields 847 (still not more than a couple hours’ work for a thief who knew the owner wouldn’t be around for that period of time), but I can’t help asking the point of (particularly) a 1-digit ‘combination’ to secure anything. Then, again, in WWII, the Germans wired all their Enigma machine keys to the entry rotor simply in alphabetical order for non-steckered keys, if other than the ‘it’s so simple, who would think of it?’ (besides Marian Rejewski)

Don’t forget the 3-, 2- and 1-digit combos, either. If you have already gotten to 672, maybe it was me that got it wrong. Anyway, I am recalling the number from over a year ago, and, who knows, I could be wrongish. The point was that the design put a serious restriction on the number of combinations and most users would have no clue of the weakness. The instruction sheet sure wasn’t gonna mention that! BTW, GE blister packs these with the Supra name visible; they are found in the doorbell section, I guess on the grounds that it is something that goes on a door.

So, it would be (# of 6-digit combos)+(# of 5-digit combos)+(# of 4-digit combos) = 252+210+210 = 672, Closer, but I may have very easily miscalculated.

I prefer keys, if I had to remember a combination for everything I have to get in to I’d forget at least half of them.

Hmmm… sounds like what I have to do for passwords for every site or application I use…

How about a word origin for “password”, I’m sure it has an interesting history.

You will have to recalculate. You may use up to six digits in the combination (if memory serves). Now other-than-four-digit combinations may be weak and thus unsuitable, but the user is not prevented from their use, so they must be included in the count.

Sorry I did not include this bit of esoterica, but I didn’t forsee your rigorous thought process. On this site, we’re lucky to get the guys to count above two.
