I totally agree with the logic of random numbers. My only problem is that I forget what I've chosen and then have to make numerous wild guesses of my own! I do that with passwords too. There's a message board I am a member of which insists on the passwords having a mix of alpha and numeric content and can I remember the numeric ones? Can I flippin heck! I end up having to write things down! How secure is that? Even my online banking baffles me because I have to count through the written password to find "character 5", "character 13" etc!
