Heh, obafgkmrns? That brings up memories from waaay back; much more fun to see it here than any of the top 20. Not that it is any better as a password, of course...
Yea, we'd always run new passwords by John the Ripper first...
Don't tape the password to your monitor, either. Or inside any desk drawer. Or under anything on your desk.
As a PC tech, it usually took me about 30 seconds to find passwords taped somewhere. And yes, I've seen them taped to the top of laptop monitors. In Starbucks. (An airport Starbucks, actually.)
obafgjmrns ? mtwtfss ?
surprised thx1138 is there. I didnt expect many people to know about his first movie.

BBROYGBVGW - first the mnemonic, and then what it references, please (^v^)
sesame cracks me up! That's so clever!
When it comes to passwords, I tend to use the movie codes of obscure videos I've watched on YouTube. Not only are passwords derived in this fashion suitably hard to guess (at least, I imagine they would be), but they're also easy to "hide" in an apparently innocuous list of URLs of "cool videos I've seen" or whatever.
BBROYGBVGW - guh, someone else gets to explain that one. I shall resist, so to speak. I can't believe people don't know NCC1701. They must turn in their Nerd Cards forthwith!
