    See Here[^] I have actually banned PASSWORD from being a password. I assign all members of staff with their passwords, an example would be "Dav456id" or "Col573ette" these are safer than "Gandalf" (Which actually IS a Password on my machine for a specific purpose! Guilty As Charged Your Honour).

          You don't need to. Everything you post is a puzzle that must be figured out (or so that is how I've typecasted you after seeing a few of your CCC's). ;P

            Nutters, I'm sure they'll go nuts when their account gets "hacked" :) I have a simple formula for my passwords, it's particularly handy for ones that need to be changed every few months. Even if seen, they'd look obscure to another person, they're strong (typically 2 uppercase letters, 3 lower case, 2 digits (and a random letter to meet length requirements on some sites)), and they're easy for me to remember :)

                    7 char passwords are not strong. They are medium at best, even if you include non ASCII chars. For example, take the password AHekf52. It is following your scheme and looks random, but it's only 42 bits of data: See this[^]

                              Probably stronger than 99.9% of passwords out there given that sample data from the telegraph :) But like I said also, it's easy for me to remember. Out of interest, how strong does it get assuming I repeat the pattern again? So 14 chars, but there would never be repitition of a char or digit.

                                        See Here[^] I have actually banned PASSWORD from being a password. I assign all members of staff with their passwords, an example would be "Dav456id" or "Col573ette" these are safer than "Gandalf" (Which actually IS a Password on my machine for a specific purpose!

                                        I was helping man the phones when a major push went out recently. I share the cubicle with another intern. She said that night she had a dream where I kept telling her that her new password was Password and that she had to change it when she logged in for safety reasons. Every now and then she'll look at me, giggle and start reciting how to change the password. She's never had to touch the program but can change her password in it in her sleep now...
