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

Misc Info


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.

This is true - probably much greater chance of that.

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.
