What is a "password association?"

• DeusExMachina 17y ago
  I think it is just the way he remembers/has selected that particular password.

  I think it's why he chose that particular password. So if my password was lucy, the association would probably be a girl I was attracted to at the time I chose it.

  Fun way to generate a reasonably complex password: pick six+ words out of a favorite song, take the first letter of each word, turn to CaMeLcAsE, pick a letter or two and replace with an ascii equivalent (e.g. s becomes 5, a becomes @, etc.), and wrap it with $'s or ^'s or one of those top-row characters. $JuNa5t5$ ==> Join us now and share the software

    Wouldn't using the six word phrase most likely be a much more secure password than condensing it to a mere 8 characters?

      The method's for a password, not passphrase. If more places allowed passphrases, then yeah, of course I'd go for that.
