  • pick a quote that you know by heart

    so step 1 is actually “learn a long, obscure quote by heart” because obviously it can’t be a common quote or it completely breaks the method, and the only quotes you’re likely to know are common

    you’re right this is so easy

    you’re still confusing the example with what it exemplifies.

    In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn’t add any meaningful entropy.

    At this rate it’s rather clear that you’re unable to parse simple sentences,

    somebody’s a little spicy over the fact that they gave terrible advice :(




  • Step 2 is “hard”? Seriously???

    I don’t know how you’re meant to remember that “Works” and “Mighty” are capitalized

    In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn’t add any meaningful entropy.

    If you try to harden it further, by using more words

    Yours doesn’t scale due to step 3.

    On the other hand, much like battery staple, it’s pretty easy to make up a visual or story in your head to connect the words.

    Also, why would you need to scale this past 6 words? At that point it’s already more likely that your password is compromised via a keylogger or similar than anything else.

    Even in English, a language that typically uses short words, your method requires ~30 characters per password.

    I’ll accept this as a downside of the method, but honestly a website that limits your password character length to under 30 is probably doing some other weird shit that isn’t good.

    Also, the only time you should really be using this method is if for some reason you don’t want to use a password manager. Not many scenarios like that that also limit characters.

    yet the harder to remember

    I feel like the exact opposite is true? Pretty easy to remember “defenestrate”. Much easier than remembering which m turns into a 3 in your method.

    The 11 characters password is not the suggestion, but an example,

    I’m aware how examples work. It’s 11 characters long and already too hard to remember.










  • A man walks into a bar and orders three beers.

    The bartender brings him the three beers, and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third, until they’re gone.

    He then orders three more and the bartender says, “Sir, I know you like them cold, so you can start with one, and I’ll bring you a fresh one as soon as you’re low.”

    The man says, “You don’t understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the Ireland. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night, we’d still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three beers, too, and we’re drinking together.”

    The bartender thinks it’s a wonderful tradition, and every week he sets up the guy’s three beers. Then one week, the man comes in and orders only two. He drinks them and then orders two more.

    The bartender says sadly, “Knowing your tradition, I’d just like to just say that I’m sorry you’ve lost a brother.”

    The man replies, “Oh, my brothers are fine. I just quit drinking.”
