Re: Why does anybody treat passwords as ASCII FFS
Some may scoff at your post but I've been doing this very thing for years. My password involves the Alt Codes for letters, numbers, & special characters (including spaces which some password fields would otherwise reject) & that tends to drop a spanner in the works of anyone trying to brute force mine. It probably won't matter much if my password is only 8 characters long if half of those are actually the Alt Codes for those characters & you don't know which ones to use. It may LOOK like "password" but is actually pAlt+0220Alt+256...
(Whispers conspiratorially: Actually my password is "AnonymousCoward", don't tell anyone!)
