Password Help

This site is the best way to get a super hard password break. http://www.irongeek.com/alt-numpad-ascii-key-combos-and-chart.html

Assuming that whatever you are creating a password for allows the characters.

I've found it easier to pick fairly long quotes or text phrases that I can remember and convert them into passwords by using the first letter of each word. For instance, we'll take the standard "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor," which is a bit short but serves to illustrate the point.

It could start as egbdf and be semi-okay, but not complex enough.

We can do some numeric substitution to make it a bit tougher: 3gbdf

Then maybe mess with the case a bit: 3GBdF

Some punctuation to round it out: 3GBdF!

That's a dirt simple example, and you'd want longer and more complex phrases, but this helps you to create a complex password that's easy to remember and hard to break.

I just go for length. If there is no limit, I use nonsense phrases.

flippyforpresident08 for example.

Have fun brute forcing or social engineering that one.

 

[Flippy the Squirrel]

That's a good approach too. I gravitate towards the former, because (honestly) it's how I learned and I enjoy the game-like aspect of it all.

I'd convert that to F1ppy4pre$1dent.08 just because I'm difficult.

 

[Lafinass]

Yeah, length or complexity.

Both is just paranoid, at that point they'd have a faster time actually breaking the security layer itself.
