Extreme Passwords


Hal 9000

Craft passwords you’ll never forget.

MOST IMPORTANT!
Remove ‘eyes’ from the equation. Sharing, writing down, storing OR making it easy to see a password when typed is where almost all breachs begin.


Don’t Share
Don’t Shelf
Don’t Show

Now let’s craft that Extreme Password

Extreme Password
I ran a typical password scheme through a tester on the Intel website (8+ characters, lowercase, caps, numbers AND punctuation) – It would take about 3,363 years to crack. NOTE: the top two passwords used ‘123456‘ and ‘password‘ both scored ZERO SECONDS.

Let’s improve on that.

Five easy steps.

1. Make a statement

I will not forget my secure password

2. Personalize & Punctuate

Ninjas don't forget passwords

3. Add a swear word

A 4-digit number holding SHIFT
Ninjas don't !@#$ passwords

4. Add some leet-speak*

The most common form of leet-speak* is substituting numbers for letters.
[Don’t] has been simplified to [/].
N1nJAZ/!@#$pa55w0rd5

1 = i 2 = Z 3 = E 4 = A 5 = S
6 = G 7 = T 8 = B 9 = Q 0 = O

*The word ‘elite’ meaning ‘one of the best’ became ‘leet’ then eventually ‘1337’ – see it?)

5. Localize

Choose a seperator then add the first two letters of the domain you’re creating the password for. For Google use ‘go’, for this site use ‘ni’.
N1nJAZ/!@#$pa55w0rd5|ni

CONGRATS!

It would take about 74,495,956 years to crack your password. Test Page.

BETTER : NinJAZpa55w0rd
ninja : N1nJAZ/!@#$pa55w0rd5|??
