- userbinator 2y agoNot necessarily, but just a pattern that only you would likely remember.
- viraptor 2y agoYou need a pattern that only you recognise/understand, not just remember. It takes only one leak of your password from service FooBar that looks like "f....b" to know what to try on other sites. Patterns easy to remember are mostly easy to understand.

- zzo38computer 2y agoOne way to mitigate such a problem is to use the hash of this text as the password, instead of using the text directly.
