Three little words?

[DaveW]

Evidently complex passwords containing letters and numbers are pointless, just using three little words is as secure.

See:-

Sounds rather like a version or What3Words replacing GPS coordinates to find every place on the planet. There being enough words in the dictionary to do so without ever repeating the same three word combination.

2 words, three words... Why should one wanted to know my forum password? In order to write my postings and make my IDs on behalf of me until I'm still sleeping?

As a lyricist and language arts observer I have been fascinated by word combinations for decades.
Its really easy to just say something that I trust has never been said before:
Tiger clutch accomplice.
Ceramic wave dump.
It’s fun.
Yeah, who needs an ampersand or numerals.

Or "my own password". LOL

I have fun with that too, especially funny names. Groucho Marx and W.C. Fields were past masters of it. When I was in high school, I came up with the alias "Alford Thunderbane", and I drove my teachers nuts when I turned in homework using that name. Guess I must be haunted by the ghost of old W.C., because I recently came up with a new one -- Harchardwyn Niffnocker.

https://random-ize.com/how-long-to-hack-pass/ provides an interesting estimate on how long it will take current technology to brute force your password.

ilikeastrophytums will apparently require 12840510 years, 1 month.

Even just the Latin name for the few plants I typed in is stronger than the passwords I use.

"Tiger clutch accomplice." Sounds like the Alzheimer's test I do when I get my annual wellness checkup.
