    Did you read my comment? I acknowledged that it is not something everyone will want to do. And you’re wrong, brute force methods won’t be able to break a 12 character password that’s random alphanumerics and symbols in any sort of timely manner. The only way they could retrieve the underlying algorithm is by successfully breaking multiple passwords and then cross referencing them to determine the code, which is extremely unlikely. By the time the brute force method found a solution, I would have changed the password already, as they all rotate monthly.
