Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: how to crack a PW in LO?

Hi :)
I apply an algorithm to the name of whatever it is that i am doing and then apply a series of 
standard characters at set locations.  The set of characters and their locations depends on which 
of 3 categories the thing fits into
1.  Something i really don't want to have cracked, such as my bank, in which case i try to use the 
longest relevant 'name'
2.  Something that it would be good not to get cracked but not really too fussed about 
3.  Something that i wouldn't care about sharing the password with pretty much anyone

LO and most of my work passwords fall into the 3rd.  One at work falls into the 1st.  So, i don't 
need to write anything down anywhere but do tend to lose track of which sites and stuff i do have 
passwords for and which i might need to register at.  Usually i just try out the password i would 
use and if i don't get in then i try to register (or give up)
Regards from
Tom :)

For future reference, if you have to create a password protected document [for viewing or editing] 
make sure you use one that will not be forgotten or WRITE IT DOWN somewhere and save it in your 
filing cabinet.

At one computer center I worked, they taped the needed passwords on the back of the keyboard. You 
needed a door key to get into the place, so the passwords were protected, but that way all the 
personnel will be able to access the needed systems and not forget the needed passwords.

I use a list of about a dozen passwords.  So if I forget which one I used, I just go down the 
"mental" list till I get the one I used for that application or document.
