    A perspective from someone who red teams for a living:

    If I encounter a password like that, I’m probably going to pay special attention to your account among the millions. Commas dont stop most people from being weak to password permutations either.

      If you’re manually checking the 12 million username password pairs in the leaked database you aren’t really going to breach many accounts before people update their passwords, are you?

        That being said, thats not really a problem for modern tools like credmaster.
