Here is an excellent site explaining how length and padding are more important than so-called complexity. It explains how you can have a password that is both secure yet easy to remember. Check it out. Well worth the read. Steve Gibson understands security probably better than anyone else on the internet. --------------------  IDIOCRACY - The only movie that started out as a comedy and then became a documentary. |

With my limited experience in network penetration testing, most strings are pretty easy to break given the right method.
One trick is to use a phrase - "fat panda" or an ever more complex "my horse has a twig" are not viable to crack without serious hardware. |

Excellent, Rubellious, that's pretty well what they were trying to get across. -------------------- IDIOCRACY - The only movie that started out as a comedy and then became a documentary. |
