As a security-conscious admin I make some pretty tricky passwords.
Like MitAo404D9, and sometimes I'll replace some of the letters with symbols. Sometimes I can't remember what characters I used where If I'm trying to think of it, but if I go to type it it just comes out. Same with video game cheats. After all these years I do remember up up down down left right a b a start.
Edit: got out my old genesis controller and remembered it. >_<
Full Version: Ever not remember a password unless you start typing it?

Circle Square Circle Square Circle Circle Triangle Square
That's some random password from Crash Bandicoot...we didn't have any paper. I bet my sister still remembers that, I'll go check.
XFD! I just was like, "I want to see if you still remember something." and she was all "Circle Square Circle Square Circle Circle Triangle Square." That's hilarious.
I've just hit random keys in notepad to come up with passwords before...those are a bitch to remember.
All of my passwords are the result of a combination of corruption of words and/or phrases. Fairly easy to remember and yet still (relatively) secure!
I can enter all the GTA codes for each game only when i have the controller in my hands
Yeah, I have the hand movements to a lot of GTA codes memorized, but I don't know what the codes themselves are.
That's never happened to me. I'm probably not as concious as you are about my passwords, I use the caps/lowercase/numbers thing like I should, but for mnemonics' sake, they usually form a word or something. (i.e. let's pretend my password for this place is l0l4o4eRR0r) I oftentimes, however, enter in the wrong password, then when I'm told its wrong, immediately say "oh, duh" and type in the right one.
Some of my passwords are...very very bad. Like...all my Diablo passwords were "me"
My passwords are all easy, also.
MitAo404D9 = Mormegil is the Admin of 404Daily9 (9 letters/numbers)
that gets tricky when it's
Mit@0404D9

Yeah my Diablo password is loldiablo. That's what made me think to make up that one above.
Start, A, B, B, A, A, B, B, A
Level skip form Aladdin anyone?

when it comes to passwords, i remember them pretty much exactly. I can't remember phone numbers without having a phone, either. I think i just memorize the pattern instead of the actual numbers. >_>
