Or, in the interest of security, make it something that's not really a word,
but means something to us. One that I thought of was something along the
lines of "hrbchief" - that would be H. Roe Bartle's initials, with Chief
thrown in for good measure. Remember, a hacker will run through a couple of
dictionaries (yes, not only English) searching for known words - the
password to this account is a seemingly random combination of numbers and
words, but to me it spells something (and would make perfect sense to you if
I told how I made it. But I won't).
