Re: The perfect Password

Brute force attacks do not care which characters humans use.

Yes, yes they do.

Iamsostupidthatiforgetmypasswords%^£thetime2000 is way - way - stronger than Iamsostupidthatiforgetmypasswordsallthetime2000.

Larger the key space the less feasible the attack. Adding an extra possible character increases the complexity by an order of magnitude. This stuff isn't even complicated.
