    I know someone who has a password asdfghjkl — he slides his forefingers across the keyboard like he’s playing a piano!

    Its strange that those passwords are so commonly used I myself would have thought no one would have used them but once. Like you say tho its best to get a password generator if you cannot think of a good password. I hope mine is only mine.
