Okay, what is left??
I am wondering what kind of imagination I will need to generate an acceptable
password. So far I have had no problem generating passwords that exceed 300%
acceptance, but if the acceptable parameters continue to become more narrow my
passwords of choice may require modification.
BTW--pleased to report that my lugnet randomly generated password returns a
534% approval rating. I think I may stick with this password for a while.
