is ur password a hash?
hashing "ilovemymommy" gives you an incredibly hard to crack password, butis pretty easy to remember (you love your momma and the hashing algorithm)

No, this is actually easy to brute force. Such tricks are common.

If "ilovemymommy" is a bad password (and it is), then so is hash("ilovemymommy"). In fact its md5 appears in several open dictionaries already (example).

What I'm doing is somewhat like this: I take memorable sentence, for example Old Mac Donald Had a Farm. Then I pick only the last and first letter of each word: dOcMdDdHamF.
But slightly more complicated (for my actual password I use two sentences, with some numbers and strange 'slang words' that only make sense to me).
