Yikes these are getting as hard to figure out as car vanity license plates.
Like the old one I had on my RX7, people would look at me and then finally
get it.

However I will never forget the one I saw in California with a nice looking
woman driver, I kept looking at it and then Duh...... I am surprised she was
able to get it.

faster...)
 
It seems that a sentence is going to be a better idea, full of punctuation.
For instance. I was born February 29th 1970.

Really! Anyone that uses these as passwords deserves
1) to get infected, and 2) to have the li'l man who
lives inside their monitor drawing the screen punch
them in the mouth.

Let's put that into context.

Passwords should be used to block functions that some system users
use, from being used by other users.

For functionalities that no-one wants at all, passwords are a
piss-poor answer. Instead, those functionalities should be ripped out

Let's say I have a PC, of which I am the only user. In spite of being
peddled as "Home", the OS is full of "remote admin" BS that I need
like a hole in the head. I want that crop ripped out, not made
marginally less exploitable by some password band-aid.

Sheesh, it's like having to wear an ID tag in your own home...

Aol std default reset password is ABC123,if your account is hacked and you
call aol to reset the password that is what they reset it to. EVERYTIME!
They ask you to change it again afterwards but few people do....

Hi Dalt,

FWIW, this from (not-stupid) AOLer:
"Urban legend! They have never ever used the same password.
I've had to change my password a gazillion times over the last 8
years for one reason or another and it's always been different."

I would have to use 'I was born February 29th, 1936." or I would
never remember it. :-)
