Most of the people you know are well outside the normal then.
In my experience the average password consists of 1-3 words with some meaning to the user, sometimes either in 1337speak or followed by numbers/symbols if the password policy requires them.
- KeepFlying 6y agoI'm with you on this. I know very few people who generate passwords like that and most people I know use some simple "special word with special number" pattern. Often it's kids names, a random word they picked as a password years ago and have been reusing, and some part of their pin number.
- dunham 6y agoIn the past, I used a grid of random characters (a tabula recta) that I keep in my wallet, plus an algorithm for pulling passwords out of it. This system broke down when I was forced to change passwords on various sites.
