  If I recall correctly this image helped make it famous: https://marco.org/2007/06/18/wow-fckgw-has-its-own-wikipedia-mention-flickr https://marco.org/2007/06/18/wow-fckgw-has-its-own-wikipedia...

  That fact that it's even at the risk of being published on the public web should be enough to disqualify it as a passphrase for everyone. I've had users use parts of lesser known poems or stories in some foreign language, because who would expect that, right? Turns out that's not what's relevant to a good password but rather whether it is in any available corpus. If your passphrase consists of something likely to be in wikipedia you are guaranteed to get owned in minutes.

That was the always best trick with new installations. This brings back memories :)

I memorized the win95 one (legit copy) which was easy since it was just digits (and I was way younger). It ended in 18805 iirc. Win98 was a copy from a friend and already had letters, much harder, but I eventually memorized that to. It started with g3pdy bdkv7. Now that I think of it, a non pirated OEM windows key would have made for a great password. ;)

  Perhaps it's a bit late for this now, but one very easy to remember Windows 95 key was "111-1111111"
