I've used the same password for years, nobody has a hope in hell of ever
guessing it. I can remember it.

Recently some site insist on having numbers as well, so I've had to add
one.

Now the bloody things want an upper case letter as well!

How the 'kinell does that make anything more secure?

It increases the number of possibilities so makes guessing it harder.

Surely it's my choice, not some bell end running a web site?

Plenty are too stupid to use sensible hard to guess passwords.
