Worth about eleven alpha-numericals, just out of interest.
Or half-a-dozen words from a small list: ‘correct horse battery...’.

A financial institution wanted a ‘memorable word’ recently. What was
typed was ***'d with no ‘eyeball’ icon to turn that off. And they
disabled paste. I switched to an all-digits one to be more confident
what I typed in twice was what I was noting down. And I'm giving my
money to them in exchange for their debt.
> I intend to set up the mesh network with a ISP-agnostic SSID
I surveyed the SSIDs around me and copied the style of the most common
to blend in. It didn't match my ISP. I thought if there's someone out
there wanting to pick an SSID to target, I'd rather be one of a crowd.
Amusing as home-picked SSIDs could be.
