18,509,302,100,000,000

Dear Dreamhost tech support,

Hi. I was just creating a bunch of email accounts, and having dreamhost create the passwords for me. At one point, two passwords in a row were identical.

For an 8 character password using lower and upper alphas, numbers, and symbols, the chances of this happening should be something like 1/108^8, or 1/18,509,302,100,000,000.

Thank you,
John

Wow! OK, I’m letting the admins know about this, thanks. You can change
the password at

Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks!
Andrea
