You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

    Simple trick to make it hard for Chinese state hackers: include the Taiwanese flag (🇹🇼) in every password you use. Chinese software like Chinese iOS has limitations that prevent typing those characters, and attempts to render it will turn the flag into a general “unsupported unicode” character.

    To make your password even safer, also add the penis hieroglyph (𓂸) which is censored on Windows.

    Add a bunch of zero width spaces in the middle to make copying passwords even harder, and then add a right to left override at the end to make password dumps unreadable.

    It’s not like you should run into this stuff 99% of the time because it’s the year or our gourd 2023 and all but two or three passwords should be stored in your password manager anyway.

      I can see it on Windows 10…

      Other than that, I love these ideas you evil bastard!

      • Interesting, last time I checked the hieroglyph was censored on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Perhaps the application or website you’re using is pulling the hieroglyph font from some other place, like an online font somewhere?

        Either way, long live the penis hieroglyph, the urinating penis hieroglyph, and the penis covered by a little bit of cloth hieroglyph!

          My software is Firefox…

          This may be a regional or localisation thing, maybe your set up doesn’t have a font for those hieroglyphs, so they appear as “tofu”?

          • Nope, other hieroglyphs from the set appeared just fine last time I checked. I think you had to combine certain characters from that character set for them to show up? Either way, it was specifically a thing with Segoe UI Historic, maybe Microsoft fixed it.

      When they’re asking you for an extra long password…
