Both of mine are rated @ Medium, but those are user account passwords, and I use different passwords for everything except non-secure accounts.
The best passwords look like this:
d8Yn%3QfxB7s.aV
That will give you an excellent rating, but it's kinda hard to remember.
m!(r0$oft-w|nd0se-$3>en
or
$3\/3n-f0r|_|m$-d0+-c0m
That will also give you an excellent rating and might be easier to remember.
My password looks something like that. It can be easy to remember if you think of a sentence that means something to you like a favourite quote and then use the first letter of every word, adding or changing some of the letters for numbers, punctuation, and special characters.
Length, although, it's so long it probaby wouldn't matter anyway.
