It's a new year, and I've picked a new password.
Unfortunately, I've picked a rather long password which I can almost
never type correctly.
0wned.

Nah, I like that as well. A ridiculously long password is fun,
especially for those cases where it might happen that someone is just
kinda watching you. If you just type "game" as a password for a game,
they're bound to remember. If you type something incredibly long with
1334-speak, they'll look at you dumbfounded and think you're a geek.
Which I am. :-)
Regards,
Tim

1334-speak as in 1337-speak but subtracting 3 at the end of the word in
the ascii table to make it harder?

From experience, avoiding shoulder surfers is easier with a short
password than a long password, as long as you pick the right short password.
alsjd, for example, is an excellent anti-shoulder-surfing password.
(Crappy for other purposes, but excellent for shoulder surfer protection.)
Having the newbs standing around in a small room with your back to them
while logging into the "expert" account in high school taught me this. :-)

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

No, they will think you are a paranoid.

Are you sure that you don't mean stupid or a poser?
I on the other hand make false strokes with my fingers showing how smart I am :)

Try using the first 40 digits of Pi as your password.
Most people will think you're a genius, typing out this huge long list
of digits at lightning speed. No one would ever be able to remember it,
even if they could follow the blur of your fingers!
And a small number of people who actually know anything about security
will realise that Pi is an obvious and stupid choice, making it trivial
for anybody who can use Google to figure out your password. (They only
have to try all prefix lengths - a very easy task.)
Indeed, there are only 10 digits, but 26 letters, making letters a much
better choice. [Assuming you use *random* letters - which almost nobody
does.]

Right... 0;-)
