). If you see one of your passwords up there:
1: be ashamed
2: change it to be at least 12 characters long and include upper case, lower case, numeric characters and symbols if allowed. Do NOT use connected words like BarrackObama or My21Weekend, try make it conveluted, but rememberable...
One of my old ones used to be F3c4|M4t73R... (character substitution of "fecalmatter")
BTW, altcodes are extended-ascii (ANSI) and use the second half of the ascii byte but this is relational to the associated code page. I have the latin code page activated, I'm English. But a polish or russian user would have a different ANSI codepage, meaning their results from the same alt code would be different. This also means, if you use someone elses PC to access your accounts and they have a different code page to you, you might not even be able to put in your password until you change the associated ANSI code page in the OS.
omg you can't remember this even if i will write it

I just meant any newline character access via alt-codes ( mainly because then the web-browser would not interpret the usual cariage return as a newline and move you on to the next input area ). For a latin ansi page I do believe the newline was alt+0010, infact it is. Ok, cool
Aye, my mistake. I thought you were talking about alt codes over Alt+127.
Anything in the first half of the byte is purely Ascii which is on every PC. Technically, it's not the first half of the byte, it's using the byte integer values of 0-127 which is the first 7 bits, the 8th bit is used to define whether it's from the basic ascii code page (8th bit = 0) or the OS's currently selected ansi code page (8th bit = 1) character sets. You can check this out by messing with your character map in accessories on your start menu (for XP users).
Carriage return, newline and linefeed are considered vital enough to be in the initial ascii layout, so everyone can use these on their PCs.
Funnily enough, this was a difficulty I have not fully overcome with my mod viewer. Because each person makes their own mod on their own PCs with their own individual code page for ansi installed, not everyone has the same code page installed, and some mods that are coded in a foreign code page show letters as blocks instead of their correct symbol because the code page doesn't match. I now grab BOM (Byte order markers) an attempt to find the most suitable encoder, but even this isn't 100% accurate. Unicode was an attempt to rectify this by using 2 bytes to represent a much larger universal codeset (with 65536 options, you got plenty to choose from) but they started messing around with that and now you have reverse-endian unicode and all kinds of confusion. Either way, universally, standard unicode is the best way to make a text file, but damn near every Windows PC user in existance uses notepad which is designed to save in the locally installed ansi...

Talking about security and how computers communicated is not random, it's integral to modern life and it separates those who see the possible threats from those who don't.
