There's really no need for 63 character passwords. Most hackings are result of keyloggers, not people/scripts trying out pws. Just don't use single word without adding some letters/numbers to it and you'll be fine
no politics...hahahaha

Nice pics. So what was the article about?
The best way to use the password is to keep it in your head.
To keep a random password in your head it has to be sane a bit.
I use the following metho😛
1) I generate 4-5 syllable pairs and put them together.
2) I repeat step 1 until the password sounds like a regular word (example: kilupanyse)
3) I add some more randomness by adding case to the "word" and some random numbers (example: Kilup71AnysE)
And there you go -- hopefully you can remember the password Kilup71AnysE without storing it into a file or e-mail or online document or browser.
PS: That is not my password, that's just an example of the system I use.
PS2: I am aware that the password I've just generated is less secure than regular random password, but I believe it is secure enough...
the best passwords are generated when you think about bucharest and bump your head repeatedly on the keyboard.

if you are really concerned about security, just send me a pm with the following information: your intended username and the site you plan to use it with. Out of the goodness of my heart will create a password from random numbers and letters drawn from my scrabble bag and send it to you. j/k
Good to know.
