Common Replacements

PLEASE NOTE: THESE COMMON REPLACEMENTS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT ALONE TO INCREASE PASSWORD STRENGTH.

 Symbols

• @ for A
• ! for I or L
• $ for S
• % for P
• # for N
• & or + for the word and
• ~ for the word not
• ^ to indicate upper case
• | for the word or

Numbers

• 1 for I or L
• 2 for T
• 3 for E or M or W
• 4 for F
• 5 for S
• 7 for T or L or J
• 8 for B
• 0 for O

Valid symbols are not standard across websites, I would recommend sticking with these:

~!@#$%^&*()+={}[]|\<>/?

When deciding on which replacements to use, be sure to keep it simple:  use a one-to-one relationship. (Do not use the same number or symbol for more than one letter and do not assign more than one number or symbol to any one letter)
