   a&éze"'r

is a very easy to type password (and maybe I shouldn't have
revealed it here).

It catches the isomorphic QWERTY instance of this ("q12we34r") but I'd love
to add xy-tables for Dvorak and non-US keyboards.  Any data pointers?


Legoland translated one row down and slightly to the left
(on a US MacKeyboard) is

  <svk,` x

which isn't all that bad a password.

That's a sneaky one!  :)


I don't know if this really is a bad password, but I
couldn't resist trying it:

  2x4=3001

Another lost password choosing algorithm :-(

Ooh -- I'd better make sure that it dislikes [0-9]+[xX][0-9]+ and [0-9]{4} .


I wouldn't mind having a look.

OK, thanks -- I'll email you...


I don't know if you have a copy of "my" wordlists [1,2].
