Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for October 19, 2020

M – E – O – W.

Try “meow.” (It’s good to know a second language…)

You can have the same password as anybody else. What you cannot have is the same user-name.

“Good Boy”

Atf is still available

Arhooo?

Squirrel

It’s the user names that get me. I try to resister as Xywe34aefr and it tells me that the name is already taken.

Try Kibbles….

When I was new on the internet, sites would allow passwords up to eight characters.

Now some don’t allow less… and you need a number and possibly a special character.

So you should combine them, anyway…

like Y@pW00f27.

or k1bbLe$nurfg00dboy

Add the number 1. Continue counting upward till it says not taken.

Is Barkwoofyapruff1 taken?

Grrrrrrrr

Think more globally..Blaf Blaf! (Dutch).

Use a foreign word: guau guau, voff voff, bu bu …

Never mind the password.. getting a unique name is getting harder as well.

try BowWow

Boof

How about stink?

What about ARF. No, that’s standard cartoon dog talk.

Bow Wow?

Silly dog! Real words make very insecure passwords.

“Arf”, “Bow-wow”, “Ahooooooooooooooooooo” all good possibilities
