I saw an algorithm suggestion manager at reddit recently. I thought it looked interesting. But I also thought that if someone could make a list like that, then it could also be easy for a computer to go through that list pretty easily.

The obstacle I face with algorithms is that they have to be clever enough that other people won't have thought of them or they'll be easy to crack. I'm not that confident in my ability to outsmart people who are trying to crack passwords all day. On the other hand, if it's super clever, would it be easy to remember?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm glad it's working for you. Maybe if I learn more about it, I'll feel more comfortable with it.
