One of my work passwords takes me 2 or 3 attempts to change because it doesn't seem to understand it's own rules as written. Plus a longer password with out all that rubbish is still more secure. Trying to memorise something Like "P@s$w0rd14" is a lot harder than "mylongpassword" and no more secure. The only Caveat to that is it has to be possible to use all those silly characters if you want so that hackers have to try them all in a brute force attack, if nobody ever uses them hackers have less to try. What about high end ANSI characters eg.☺? Using a high end ANSI character as a single character password is much more secure that mylongpassword , such as: 尙.	SanChippy (16951)

So long as you don't leave the list next to your computer you are safe as houses. You'll never forget them, they will be wherever you last hid them, if you can remember where that was! :D Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
