Comment Padding as Security (Score 1) 415
Another technique for strengthening a password is simply to pad it generously.
Probably one of the most secure passwords you can ever have is just 30-40 full stop characters.
Because it's the least likely to get bruteforced. So if you have decided on some arbitrary password AsDeFeGeLe9, you can pad it to increase the length by 14 and multiply the security 1000-fold, as so:
AsDeFeGeLe9..............
or
AsDeFeGeLe9-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
