Password (n)

A way of deluding people that they still have some vestigages of their privacy q.v. remaining. Often people will use very complex passwords like %$hI93.£$^%hj78 (feel free to use this password yourself if you are unable to come up with a random string of alphanumeric symbols on your own). These are a good idea because they are very difficult to remember and completely disregard the fact that most passwords are stolen by keyloggers or by hacking into databases rendering the complexity of the password itself irrelevent. A good practice is to use the same password on every site you visit.
