Bo is trying to remember his password to ATT and I am just teasing him about it. I loved the look when I mention "pull my hair, you bastard". Guess he does not realize how kinky I can get...the old pervert.

Here from Steve Gibson is an explanation

Yeah. Try to brute force that kind of password.

Ya, but how do you remember it? You can't - so you write it down, and there it is, waiting to be found.

I do remember it because it has a specific pattern. But even if I didn't and wanted to put it somewhere I would simply take the code and insert it into one specific picture out of the hundreds of thousand on my computer. Not likely you would find it.

That's some good info people have given here. On Steve Gibson's site, I tested my current password. The massive cracking array would crack it in 2.22 seconds.

The password I'm switching to, well...
Massive Cracking Array Scenario (Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second): 8.52 hundred thousand CENTURIES (that's if I can enter a particular character...)

I'd call that fairly secure.

All that time for the $63 in your bank account.

That's $50 more than I thought I had.
Off to the bank! Shopping spree! Later!

Actually I have no intention of ever banking online or ever again allowing automatic payments. I did on a credit card for AOL but that is all over now. In fact they are so hard up for members it seems I now have a lifetime free membership. Have no reason to use it but I did check my spam recently just for the hell of it. Global Computer is still at it through their schill ONREBATES. Somanabich ! Don't EVER buy anything with a rebate from them. Over six years they been spammog me.

But one day AOL told me my account had been hacked and I needed to change all my passwords. WTF, first of all how would they know ? I mean I had/have about a half dozen emails with different passwords. Found out with little prodding that THEY had been hacked ! Otherwise why would I have to change ALL my passwords ?

Anyway, all this about symbols is fine and good but there is another thing - misspellings. I mean unckomann myspeIligns.

I wonder what the Chinese and Japanese do about this having a non alphabetic language.

T^T
