Notes

Methodology and caveats for readers.

  • Passwords shown here are normalized using NFKC to combine visually similar Unicode forms.
  • Extremely long strings are wrapped; zero-width characters may be replaced by a visible token.
  • Data window and totals indicated above; counts are exact for that window.
