That said, if that's a password for a human, I pity the person who has to type it.
What??? You mean you haven't memorized it? ;-)
What are you using passwords like that for, as opposed to some kind of key based auth?
I use that sort of password for WiFi. However, I use the Perfect Passwords from www.grc.com. They have 63 random character strings just for that purpose.
Here's an example: "57,%Y9N<Ure}tgrJO[7DS;NElk~/\"mxPyE1BB#,n!so%sl/j6[0JS*R_Db(Yx
Doesn't seem worth the hassle for short sequences. GRC sequence: echo '"57,%Y9N<Ure}tgrJO[7DS;NElk~/\"mxPyE1BB#,n!so%sl/j6[0JS*R_Db(Yx' |ent |grep Entropy Entropy = 5.468750 bits per byte. pwgen sequence: pwgen -s -y 63 1 |ent |grep Entropy Entropy = 5.538910 bits per byte. Negligible difference, and FWIW Ted Ts'o wrote pwgen. Cheers, Jamon
