I like the Sherlock stuff. Everything from the black and white versions, 1950's, to the TV series Elementary which is more recent. That is a idea but I currently come up with them from things I have or weird things I won't forget. Models of vehicles or some other thing I have and will have for a long time. Some are a little short but those password sites say they are good strong passwords. That's a interesting way to come up with passwords tho. I've seen that is a few whodunit type shows. Way back in the old days, they had some interesting ways of coding messages. Passwords are sort of similar. I'll have to give that some thought. It's not how I usually do it but it is interesting. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
