And actually I lied. My password is: secret.

Beat me to it : )
This comic strip, apart from being funny, is actually quite relevant!

I tried to change my password to "penis". I got a message saying, "your password is too small".

Try "elephant penis" then...
Sadly most people don't get it. Took me half an afternoon to convince my parents - and they usually trust me with stuff like that.

My password is ******.
Hey, if you type passwords here they automatically crossed out. Try it.

But for real.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzGzB-yYKcc

Also, If you have a system where the attacker can't just brute force - more exactly, one that locks the attacker out of the interface if he typed it in wrong thrice and the attacker only having access to that interface - it doesen't matter how secure you password is. Meaning: it can be VERY insecure like "hans1234" and it does not matter.

Another Plus one.

Keepass is also multi-platform. There's even an Android client. I currently keep my keepass database in a folder I sync to my google-drive. The Android client can read the database out of google-drive, so it's like having the convenience of a cloud-based password manager.

Hehe, actually not a bad idea.

Reminds me of the Debian pack "fortune", especially the offensive one... I used to pipe it through lolcat and cowsay. Every time I logged in I got a colourful cow saying random quote or some idiom :D

Like:
fortune | cowsay -f $(ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows/|shuf -n 1) | lolcat

Try dildo, same length yet should satisfy.

use a combination of numbers and letters and also symbols. your password should be at least 10 characters long. yuo should be fine that way, for the most part. :)

I have it piped onto my website, where i got the idea from squirrelmail (yes, i'm nuts), which i use for email. I tried making a topic here on gog for it some time ago, but it didn't go on for long, unfortunately.

Never and never use a password manager, Your brain is the best password manager, Use different passwords for your different accounts for the best security. They should contain letters,numbers and symbols mixed up you can use the same sets but mixed up on your various logins if remembering many different ones is a issue. But the more you use the better your brain will get at remembering them and always use 12 characters as a minimum.
Use word associations for various sites if you need a bit of help. As in say for steam maybe use something that is hot as an association into the password, Good old games maybe ancient etc etc get it.
That's the way i get my clients and students to create good passwords. Don't use your BD, pets etc either as passwords. lol

You ARE crazy for using an old component on your webserver, security wise, that's the whole point but you never seemed to get it :P

Why not use a password manager. Keep it off the cloud on an encrypted pen drive and no problem. There is no way I could remember the 80+ 32 bit completely random stream of characters, numbers and specials, and lengths (which vary by platform by the way). Especially for websites not used regularly.
Remember the important t ones to the software, then let the software do its job in generating and storing them.
I agree to a certain extent, never let browsers and such like remember them, but a pen drive with no connection to the internet which is encypted is safe, thus use the software for what it is for.
And do also be aware that by using associations, such as something hot for steam, you could effectively reduce the power of the password.

Just run a password cracker on the password yourself. If it takes more than 3 years to crack the password, it's safe and you can use it from that point on.
