That is not a restrictive password scenario. I have come upon sites that
insist on a six letter Alpha only password. The above characters pretty
much cover ASCII 32 - 126 (i didn't seriously check).
I have to create three passwords for every website i create.
o MySQL database
o FTP user
o Admin Login
Each *must* be different and each website must be different. I can't
have someone cracking all our websites at once. Typically i feel safe if
it is Random ASCII (32 - 126) and at least 11 characters. In other words
i feel sure someone elses password will be broken long before mine. OH
and a username greater than rumplestiltskin ;)
The original CMS Admin Login i delete. You have to be really crazy to
have a login called "admin" on your computer or website. Begging for
cracking.
