For sure, leaving out the salt is highly irresponsible.
But I don’t trust sites to be salting, so I pick passwords that are strong enough that even if a site stored it using a single iteration of MD5 with no salting it would not be broken.

Interestingly the lower case version of that password is found in exactly one leak known to https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

Follow this one past the typing test... Not that far off from the truth.

Have your cat type your passwords. -
The pronunciation point got me wondering whether an American would be able to pronounce this password: zzzccccczczczcczczcc

Sorry I misremembered. The actual line in that song is:

I totally agree with that. There was a time where I used machines with both Danish and American keyboard layouts on a daily basis. So I learned to pick passwords consisting of only characters that were located in the same place on both keyboards.
And that was a time when only ASCII was supported, so I had to keep that in mind as well.
The best way to make passwords stronger is to make them longer rather than using more different characters.
I am so annoyed by sites that get this wrong. First they reject my 32 character password because it’s too long. So I try truncating my password to 12, 16, or 20 characters (whatever they permit), and then they reject it because I only have alphanumeric characters. Seriously, the password I started with was stronger than such a short password could ever be. So the weakness of the password I am trying is entirely caused by their low limit on password length and not by the set of characters I had chosen to use.
A user should be allowed to use a password consisting of only two distinct characters as long as it’s long enough and doesn’t have any patterns.
@kasperd @MegaMichelle @CrackMeIfYouCan @kajer @jupiter at one point Linux boot-time FS decrypt wouldn't use the O/S locale, but en-US, so here in en-GB things like @ in pass phrases were... Interesting...

Imagine how the German and the French would deal with that.

"Special characters"
@MegaMichelle @jupiter mind you, even a single special character like the romanian "ă" especially raises entropy by a lot, firstly because it's an unique character only used in romanian and secondly because it is technically outside of the standard Latin alphabet
