No shit, I saw some password rules recently.
15 character minimum
Must change every 90 days
Cannot be one of the previous 24
Like, what the hell?
…and that, dear admins, is how you get passwords such as fuckthisrule#54, with the number increased by 1 every 90 days.
And that’s how you get rules put in place to not use a password that’s similar to your old passwords. (I don’t agree with such rules, just to be completely clear)
If you are forced to use long passwords, use book titles, song titles, character names, album names, TV show names, etc etc.
Examples: WutheringHeights$!5, ThePrisonerOfAzkaban:29, TheCountOfMonteChristo33&&
Of course you can put the numbers and symbols anywhere, not just at the end.
it’s better to use poems. I’ve done Hamlets 2b monologue, View From Westminster Bridge, Tell the Truth but Tell it Slanted, The Raven, Iago’s Many a duteous knave, Louis the Dauphin’s I am too high born to be propertied.
Or really any poem you happen to have memorized.
