      The thing is, nobody knows if you write a special character or not. They might try to brute force passwords without first. But the way more important factor is length.

      Just 5 random words and you are fine

    my cat will sometimes put his paws on the left-shit, left-control, caps lock, tab, and the other buttons on that side.

    and sometimes when I’m up late at night, I don’t realize that I was typing in caps
