I have complied, and I understand that security and passwords are important
But I would argue that it's only a forum password, no real sensitive information at stake, and if someone could be bothered to hack it, what is the worst they could do that wouldn't be solved by emailing a moderator? My password here is now more complicated than anywhere else except my online banking. just sayin  (July 25, 2012 at 1:06 pm)Chuff Wrote: My password here is now more complicated than anywhere else except my online banking.

I actually wouldn't mind someone hacking into my online banking. The worst they could do would be to put some money in it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Use the frustration you experience coming up with a password in the password. Makes it more memorable to associate it with that feeling. Could be random swear words and insults mixed with numbers, could be a very long and complex sentence that expresses extreme displeasure.
Point is you won't forget the experience you had to go through to type up a new password so use it as inspiration. Example; Seriously?1havetodothisAGAIN!?
