Re: Passwords

Yep, I think everyone will agree that is ideal. It gives a long password, and has a mix of caps, numbers and special characters.

You might want to try also using numbers other than 2 (since that's the most common number used for the same reason you chose it in your example) - but just adding one number, even the number 2, still forces a larger search space. So it's all good

You can also use < to replace c - it's an unusual character that often will be overlooked since it's not sitting above one of the numbers at the top of the keyboard. Similarly, you can use commas and full stops, brackets, semicolons, slashes and backslashes. Making easy passwords like <arry\On (Carry On - I'm thinking of the song "Carry On my Wayward Son" - great song) that will be hard to guess, and that use characters that will be extremely low on the frequency table.

Edit: Also, double points for the Hamlet quote We don't hear enough of the Bard during daily life...
