Talking "20 Squares" -an uncrackable windows xp password

Quote:
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□
Using the charmap executable in the system32 folder I made an uncrackable password by copying and pasting untypable characters
like □ and ♪ and ⅞. I also tested it using some password crackers.

It's not uncrackable.. It's just that most cracking programs don't consider those characters as nobody uses them as it's really inconvenient

I don't know 90% of my own passwords, they're kept on a usb key drive kept in a secret vault located in a tree somewhere in Russia.

While, for cracking stuff, I used Ophcrack, a free Linux distribution, and Cain & Abel.
Plus, I found that ctrl + bksp types a strange character, but only sometimes.

Well of course Ophcrack won't crack it, the free version only does alphanumeric. That by no means makes it uncrackable, it just takes larger tables.

That right, though even if someone cracks it they might not know the key comb.
if it's even typable

Nor do I. I just have them all written down on a post-it note on my monitor.

I just use the same password, over and over.
