Most stupid thing about passwords is that computers are great at brute forcing through a salad of characters but people are very poor at remembering them.
On the other hand people are great at remembering elaborate texts like jokes or even a dada-istic collation of semantic absurdities while computers brute force capabilities is massively hampered by a few more characters.
I do wonder about password analyzers when a 22-char password with upper and lower case, numbers and special characters is considered moderately strong. I think it’s a plot by the password vault people.
Why do I need yet another annoying password? Becomes Wd1nyaap? That helps with password creation. Although the longer the sentence the more chances to fat finger the darn password.

Frank makes a valid point here. Granted, it’s an irrelevant point, but it’s valid.

His profanity symbols can be his password, or at least part of it

I think $#*! (Or whatever he said) should be his password.
