    Default Re: Password

    Ah, just read the announcement. I doubt you'd need anything like the kind of strength we've been talking about right now to protect your average Org user account from bots. vB has a few safety features built in such that as long as it isn't something really easy to guess, like your username, "password", "letmein" etc., or a dictionary word, you should be fine.

    Found this site, which give you some indication about how strong your password is. Doesn't check dictionary words though, so isn't entirely accurate. Plenty of other password strength metrics out there though.

    Love to hear the mnemonic for that one!
