Another way to add complex characters is to put emojis into your passwords.

Password1234:-) is way better than Password1234
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

I know emojis work in AD names now. You could have a domain called  :).corp.com. I really wanted to name my workstation poop emoji, but it didn't follow the naming convention.

I know that Windows has supported ALT characters since (I think) Windows 2000 or something crazy like that. So I've used è and ü and ñ for great complexity.

When I type into my browsers "🙂.com" I'm taken to "xn--938h.com". Tried on chrome, edge and firefox = same result. xn--938h.com is for sale and is $10 from godaddy for 1 year. Is this the next y2k / .com bubble?  :XD:

Here's some good info on passwords from the Australian Cyber Security Centre : https://www.cyber.gov.au/acsc/view-all-content/guidance/comparison-password-vs-passphrase
The best password is in the bottom of the table on that link.

I want to propose my own solution - Gait password. It's encompasses the "something you are" as well as "something you have" so it should be good. To make it work, when you try and log in, you need to do your action in front of your computers camera. You can pick any action, you just have to repeat it each time you log on. You may pick a handstand or a breakdance or one of those hopscotch things you done back in school. You can even just walk around since no two people have the same gait.

... you may laugh now, but give it 15-20 years  :XD: :mrgreen:

Tip: Don't post your ideas online else they be stolen!  :))

Ooooh, too bad your idea got pinched!

Let me know if you file a lawsuit and I'll send over a copy of the board's database to your legal team. :smug:
