I had already done all you suggests -- yay! The admin, user name changes, etc, even have two back-up plug ins (the DB one and the files one, both work fine, never had to restore tho!), and here's a trick for PWs that might interest your readers that's similar to yours: I start with an acronym of a song lyric, say "It's the most wonderful time of the year" from some ancient Bing Crosby carol (yes, I'm old.) I swap out numerals for letters that look alike, "1" for the letter "i", Zeros for "o" and vice-versa, use Title Caps on some words as I sing them, etc. So that lyric would be "1tMWt0ty" then I add a piece of the site, like "1tMWt0tygravatar" or whatever. Thanks for the good common sense -- that takes care of juuuuuust over half of life, doesn't it?! ~@TheGirlPie This post made me feel so proud of myself! I had already done all you suggests — yay!

I start with an acronym of a song lyric, say “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” from some ancient Bing Crosby carol (yes, I’m old.) I swap out numerals for letters that look alike, “1″ for the letter “i”, Zeros for “o” and vice-versa, use Title Caps on some words as I sing them, etc. So that lyric would be “1tMWt0ty” then I add a piece of the site, like “1tMWt0tygravatar” or whatever.
