For exacmple, compound words often start as "open" compounds: "web server", evolve to hyphenated: "web-server" and eventually become closed: "webserver". OK, that doesn't have much to do with passwords. Back at UofW -- this would have been SP3 or so -- I remember a student (not me) being surprised to learn that his password, which he thought was "I love KM" was really just "I". ISTR we fixed our password processing to notice such things and reject them when this was discovered, to avoid such easy passwords... ...phsiii
