Use Klingon, that'll mess 'em up for a while. :D

Personally, I use three different words, in three different languages each separated by a character. The bad guys tend to give up on me quickly... :D

I am sure one can brute force with a Klingon dictionary. :P

Nothing stopping you from doing both/partially.

DrStrange posted : It's more fun to invent your own language and use words or phrases from that for passwords. That way no one else knows whether the grammar or spelling is correct or not.

...and if you invented it you decide what's correct anyway. :)
