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

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre would like to politely remind you that three random words are a good, secure password. ... Because everything, increasingly, wants you to have a unique account and password for its service.
NCSC recommends a three-word password because it bypasses some of the most common ways that criminals crack passwords. These are things like single words with predictable substitutions (5 for S, or ! for 1) and brute-force techniques that rely on shorter passwords to succeed. "The stereotypical password is a single dictionary word or name, with predictable character replacements," says the NCSC.
In contrast, a three-word password is something you can realistically remember...It's also easy to adopt and modify for different sites' requirements...

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.
You dont know where i got those from, do you..?
They stole 2020!
Hey! That’s very close to MY password. Candy Quahog Marsupial. Small world.
Juckjabfascists!
I hate it when ‘secure’ websites reject my password for having characters that are not allowed
So annoying
passAword ,LOL
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

fore years I used 420s&seven365sago.
