I read the replies and got some ideas. I don't have any favorite songs |
| 24 |
or sayings so that wouldn't work with me. I'm weird, as some know but |
| 25 |
might not say it. ROFL I did come up with some things tho based on |
| 26 |
replies. I then googled for some password checker sites, found three or |
| 27 |
so, and checked to see what they think about my password. Here is some |
| 28 |
results: |

It would take a computer about 34 thousand years to crack your password |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Medium size botnet About 143 billion years or Standard Desktop PC About |
| 34 |
143 quadrillion years |

Time to crack your password: 17 centuries or Review: Fantastic, using |
| 37 |
that password makes you as secure as Fort Knox. |

I'm not sure if one can convert that to NSA time or not. o_O The |
| 41 |
password contains upper/lower case letters, couple symbols from up top |
| 42 |
of the number keys and several numbers. None of which anyone would be |
| 43 |
able to guess in any way. They have nothing to do with that list of |
| 44 |
things not to use, birthdays etc. If a person was trying to just guess |
| 45 |
it, even a best friend who knows me extremely well, they would not be |
| 46 |
able to guess it much less the order of it. The only bad thing, it |
| 47 |
isn't to easy to type. Of course, a really good password usually isn't |
| 48 |
so . . . |

I'm going to practice typing that thing in a bit to see if I get the |
| 51 |
hang of it. Maybe it will grow on me or I can come up with a change |
| 52 |
that makes it easier to type. |

Thanks to all for the suggestions. It did help. Some were sort of |
| 55 |
funny but they would make a good password easy to remember. |
