Darn, these are so much more clever than mine. How could I have missed them?

If you’re stupid enough to use passwords like this to protect your accounts, you shouldn’t even be using a computer.

I always use the same password:
**********
As a network and security professional, my recommendation is for users to develop their own personal set of sayings or sentances and then use the first letter of each word in that sentance.
For example:
I Love My Wife - ilmw
Now obviously this is not long enough but it provides an example of how to use this method.
Another method is the two or three word password. The two words selected should not be directly related to you. So no names, or addresses, etc.
Examples:
SkyMaster
NavyOrange
foryourconsideration
For additional security, you can substute numbers for some letters. Number 1 or the ! makes a good substitute for L or I. 2 can be substituted for the word to “to” as in 2day. 3 can replace the letter E (looks like a backwards E. Zero can replace the letter o. So:
SkyMast3r
Navy0range

Fox Mulder’s was “TrustN01”. Surprised that didn’t make the list. Then again the millennials probably have no idea who Fox Mulder is.
There is a site where you can enter your password and it will tell you how long it will take to crack.
My server password was measured in billions of years.

Your name spelled backwards? (One of my friends does this.)
Nobody's going to figure that out, are they?
“Bosco”
I did use the passwords “incorrect” and “doesnotmatch” so every time my password was wrong, it reminded me.
