"Sure. My password is =rk#C0|q7_Mf@zrtf'XnM/'2C3ZTJ1[*/>)1Wk(sr&+z0pEG/}jmN_3[jI:jp( I'll write it down for you on a piece of paper."

"Yes, that's really my password. High security. Don't you have a secure password like that? You really should you know."

"It didn't work? Are you sure you typed it in correctly? Try it again."



Personally, I'd write my password in an obscure Unicode-supported script that is unavailable in most fonts.


Be sure you go outside the Basic Multilingual Plane. A lot of software runs into weird bugs when you use characters that can't be represented in 16 bits in UTF-16. Bonus points if it uses bidirectional control characters.


You might as well add a few 'drop table;'s in there, just in case. That way, if/when your potential employers accidentally wipe the databases at Facebook (or wherever they happen to be invading your privacy), they'll have two lawsuits on their hands!

(The first being the one you file for an invasion of privacy, of course).
