Random thought coming through

Emojis are UTF-8 and there are a TON of them. Wouldn't a password made out of Emojis be way more secure than a normal one?

They have started to talk about emoji domains and tlds...

@Linux there are some emoji domains already.

And for my own CMS I do have a password with emojis

@Codex404
Yah I have seen that. The .ca registry allows it for example

@Linux 🍆 <-- that's going to be pornhub's new domain amirite

@Alice If the site doesn't use UTF-8 its probably not worth registering to anyways

@RAZERZ lmao

@RAZERZ
Or 🍌.🍆

@PrivateGER google, microsoft?

🌍🍆.com

@Alice loooooool

there should be only the problem if the registrar does not support punycode.
for example:
😅.com (face with tears of joy): xn--j28h.com
😄.org (Grinning Face With Smiling Eyes): xn--i28h.org

@stop
Well, they dont accept emojis yet.

I would want to register something like 🎮.com
This gets read as http://xn--fl8h.com

Do I then just register that thing?

@Codex404
Try, it wont get throu

@Linux I already was in the checkout part, didnt try paying for it

@Codex404
Try pay for it ^^

how about 🎮hello.ch : https://nic.ch/whois/...

@stop
It wont work.

The browser in fact changes the emoticons to strings.
😎 looks like this: xn--s28h

In the end it's still UTF-8, but several bytes for 1 character. A longer combination of symbols would have a similar effect, and be easier to type anywhere.

@AndSoWeCode Just imagine how long 😘😮😴🤐😴😉😭😘😋🤗🙄💩💩🙈💩😻👹👻🤕🛌🙇💇🛌😧😭😞😜😔 is in characters.

@PrivateGER it will still be less reliable, harder to write and to remember, and less secure than:

"Piling the bodies, burn them in the night, skin grows black and whithered, decayed smell will rise." (just a song, don't worry)

Especially because the first byte for all of those emojis is probably the same, so it reduces the entropy by a lot.

@AndSoWeCode Now replace the spaces with Emojis and you got one hell of a password.

Irony: Most of the emojis in this conversation are boxes for me. But that's the fault of the extension "force custom fonts" that I have to avoid ugly looking fonts when antialiasing is off.

@rantOverflow We already do. The circle closes.

What about a TLD that is an emoji?

www.google.🌎

@bkwilliams that that could be possible with the same method like some new tlds.

@Codex404 just told my gf what you just said about emoji domains (and why I think it's stupid), and she said if Google thinks it's a good idea then it is.

I've lost the will to live now.

@Alice of course, so silly of me xD

@Alice so long as Jeeves doesn't get there first
