...take a phrase ie ilikepudding as an example

add some caps

IlikePuDDing

add some numbers

I8LikePuDDing8

Add some special symbols

I8Lik#PuDD!ng8

Throw in an alt code or 2

§╒ª◘


I8Lik#PuDD!ng8§

If you do all that you will be legit  Cool


That's not secure. That would work for an online login, because it can limit the number of trials an attacker can make.

You should not use such for encryption of wallets!

A password like I8Lik#PuDD!ng8§ is not secure? You have got to be kidding. Steve Gibson's calculator at https://www.grc.com/%5Chaystack.htm gives the time to exhaustively search this password's space assuming one hundred billion guesses per second at 1.49 billion centuries.

How is a password like this not secure?
