This is why we tech guys/gals say you need a stronger password, and want to enforce stricter password rules. Because the shoter and weaker ones can be cracked so very easily.

Those "special characters" are the tool of the devil though. Like goddamn, I have enough numbers. I don't need a motherflippin' exclamation point.

You may not like them, but they do make it harder to crack your pw.

There has to be a far better way of securing things computer wise. Overly complex passwords mean people do not change them or like me that have a spreadsheet loaded with all their usernames and passwords. Very insecure.

I’ve always been against the whole rotating password thing as well. It’s basically a useless inconvenience based on bogus logic. Besides, the whole special character thing begs the question: if I created a password that’s more than 20 characters, with no discernible phrases or particular logic of the placement of letters and numbers, why would special characters make it that much more complicated?

Look in to getting a dedicated password manager. There's a number of them out there, and they work similarly to the password manager built in to your browser, but they require you to manually enter a password in order to unlock. Most of them also have their own password generator built in so you don't have to come up with new ones for every site. I've heard pretty good things about 1Password, but keep in mind that at the end of the day, you're still trusting a third party to handle your passwords if you sign up for one of these services.

You mean PASSWORD is a weak password? Nonsense!

At the risk of giving hints, in order to crack all of my passwords one would at least need to have knowledge of several languages, multiple alphabets and their respective digital/alphanumerical/symbolic variants, that before potentially getting into other tricks.

Being a little polyglot has some advantages.

I´ll be using "PasswordWeakSauce" from now on.
