Re: Pasw0rd?? Who would use that, that's foolish!

yeah, using l33t5p34k to encode your favorite word makes it SO much more secure... </snark>

(although I admit doing that when certain password verifiers won't let me do something more secure and easier to remember like an equivalent of 'correcthorsebatterystaple' and then confuse you when you have to use 3 of 4 different things, and if you use all 4, it rejects it...)
