They’re probably right. But George Costanza never had any problems with his secret one-word password, “bosco”.

Three word passwords in and of themselves isn’t going to get the job done.
Not when you need a capital letter, a number, and a symbol like %.

Don’t use dictionary words. Intersperse non-A-Z into them.

I hate it when ‘secure’ websites reject my password for having characters that are not allowed
So annoying

I like using the first letters of a line from a poem or song.
For example:
mhallifwwas (mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow)
or
iltlbmbjltd (i love to love but my baby just loves to dance)
Of course you generally need to cap one letter and add a special character.

I have never understood the brute force method of breaking passwords.
Every important website I use just allows three wrong password attempts before they require you to answer questions, change your password, and confirm a random code sent to your registered email address.
How does brute force get past the three wrong password attempts issue?

Use a famous quote then the first letters: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this Continental, a new nation... 420n7ya0fbfutCann
