   Hi August,

   How long are your passwords? Do they have pronouncable words/parts?

    AA> That's fine, but even a set of "random" words or phrase is good enough.   
      
   Sure.   
      
    AA> So.. as an example, a random phrase that is only meaningful to you,   
      
   When it's meaningful it's not random! ;-)

   "No one" isn't the problem. It's the automated password guessers that are your   
   adversaries. And they can try thousands or probably milions of passwords in a   
   second, and do that in a smart way.

   Can you give an example for a ficticious website (without revealing your   
   formula of course)?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
