I used to have a # in one of my passwords. It used to be fun finding where the # key was on a computer's default pre-login keyboard mapping which frequently did not match what was printed on the physical keys. I became quite adept at it and it certainly made for a more secure password because of the challenge of finding # on the keyboard. I, personally, would really like to have a non-ascii unicode password. I would when choosing a non-ascii unicode password test to make sure I could enter it on all the devices I use. André Schappo
