I hate coming up with new passwords and tend to favor changing the last character, although I tend to rotate thru a few variations. That is, I used to, before my uni changed its password requirements.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Lately, my passwords have been self-affirmations, to remind myself things like I deserve to be happy every time I unlock my computer.
That's a good idea! Also, you deserve to be happy.
Going back to the bulb discussion for a moment, be aware that squirrels *love* flower bulbs. And will dig up and rebury half the ones you plant, and eat a lot of the ones they don't rebury. It's a good thing they're so dang cute, or there would be a lot more retribution.
I need to change mine this week. We can't reuse anything we have used in the last 24 months. Or anything that has a certain number of similar characters in the same places. Hmmm, wonder if a number at the front would minimize that issue.
I like the self affirmations. Will have to come up with a good one.

That is so smart!

They particularly love tulips. Some people put a layer of chicken wire over their planted bulbs, to discourage the evil squirrels. They don't seem to bother irises much, probably because a woody rhizome is not as tasty as a juicy bulb.

That is actually a really good idea. I have a few passwords that mean something or whatnot, but most work passwords are just a random word with numbers attached (usually starting with 1 and going up as I have to change. Words like "maintain" or "platform" or whatever pops into my head and is several letters long)

That IS a great idea. And you do deserve it.
Work day: be over, please.
