Here’s my secret and it has served me very well. Pick a two digit number…I use 67…Now pick a 5 character alpha word. Mine is Ralph because it has both upper case and lower case and also doesn’t have repeating letters. End it with a special character, I use $ because I like money. This works for almost all of those stoopid password requirements and is easy to remember. So easy that Very Bad Cat has been ordering treats from the jungle…but at least I can remember what my password is until she locks me out of my account and I have to reset it. Again. BTW, how are your windowsill scallions doing? When I suggested that you do that, I had forgotten that you live in cold country so you probably didn’t have any warm windowsills available. The bunch I showed the pic of are still producing lots of tasty veggies but the bulbs are starting to get big enough to make me think I need to start over with another bunch. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-out-and-about-in-the-mmp/982448)._
