Interesting and informative. It may be already on an appropriate forum on CNET, but we SE guys take care of our own.

I have a 'super password' of great length that I can retain in my mind. (Of the sentence/phrase type.) Recently I tested it on a security site and it rated very high, but not at the top rating. I added one character (a symbol), and that boosted it to 'excellent'.
It's long enough to be uncrackable by all actors except national or otherwise well financed ones. They're not a problem because I got nothin' worth stealing. Grin
