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.

Mixing in different foreign language words also helps.

I know a lot who do and support quite a few of them. Scary considering the higher positions some of them are in.

I’m getting more into oddball pass phrases myself.
In a couple of months, I hope to take the Security plus test and try to get away from break/fix. Granted I have been blessed to have a good job paying well for help desk and fixing stuff but I can do better.

I've heard differently; that password-cracking programs have lists of many, many words in the language. The best ones are those that have 'special' characters mixed with letters and numbers Better would be, for sites that allow long passwords, to use a phrase. Easy to remember (so you don't have to write it down where somebody might find it), and very hard to crack by brute-force methods. Or things of the form "friend's nickname followed by his phone number"

People go there, and the site logs the password and the person's IP address. That log file would be worth money to somebody.

“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.”
What site is that? I would like to test my passwords.
I wrote a random password generator in (don’t laugh!) BASIC that will save a list of passwords to a file. On startup, the program asks how long the passwords should be, and how many passwords that I want. I re-seed the random number generator using a Time function before generating each random password - that assures randomness, because the Random function alone is not truly random. The resulting passwords consist of intermixed numbers and letters (upper and lower case). A compiled BASIC program is blazing fast on modern hardware. I can generate a million long passwords in minutes.

The network I log into won’t allow many of the special characters for passwords. IMIT refuses to explain why.
