    A far more secure password would have been RipeAdmin1$. Gotta get those capitals, lowercases, numbers, and special characters.

      Passphrases 14+ characters with upper and lower case, numbers, special characters. Such as r1peAsAm@ang0adm1n!

      At least that’s what John Oliver and Ed Snowden say. I trust Ed on this one.

        Each added character adds much more entropy than character class. Password Strength
