How did you tell how much your password would take? It was using one example at the top of each section.

I'm less worried about somone Bruteforcing my password than them just finding out what it is somehow.

Especialy if i forget it and then have to have a reminder sent. That shit is unencrypted.

So I use a single 10char long PW for just about anything sensitive, I don't forget it, and I don't ever give it to anyone.

My passwords are randomly generated patterns across the keyboard, not bound by structure or design. I simply memorize what keys I hit.

Previous to that, my passwords were in romanized Chinese (ie english letters, Chinese words) but spelled backwards.

There is a few passwords I use I have four numbers that don't mean anything in my life they are just a pattern on the number pad on keyboards.

no passwords are encrypted. I can change passwords of course, but I cannot view them.

A common misconception about network/site administrators. In 98% of cases passwords are encrypted and we see it the same as everyone else ***** ;)
