I'm pretty sure the standard US layout offers more than enough symbols to write an excellent password. I tend to prefer extremely long passwords/phrases over things that require stupid characters (had trouble with WiFi keys using the French "é" back in 2008, all my passwords are ASCII since)
I'm baffled that the standard US keyboard layout doesn't even have the ° character, something I use all the time.
Such problems are the reason why I never use anything but ASCII letters as passwords (if the system doesn't enforce arbitrary password policies). I'd rather have a longer ASCII-only password than a shorter one I might not be able to input. There's also the issue that often you are not sure what keyboard layout is current enabled and even such unsuspicious characters like ! or # are on completely different locations o…

Every language that is not American English is "stupid"?
Was really surprised to see such a great solution and walkthrough. I had no idea Mac's had "unicode text input" software on default machines. I wonder why Window's hasn't upgraded charmap.exe over the years? Ok and hear me out on this: a startup idea based on emoji passwords that encodes/decodes emojis into their hex/binary equivalent. takers?

You can still write åäö with the numpad if your keyboard has one. Alt + 134 = å
I tried that. The LUKS password screen did not support it.

That's how Schwab.com implements passwords. 8 characters max. For life savings brokerage accounts.
Swedbank in Sweden have a feature where you can access an accounts entire balance by generating random CC#'s for online shopping and this service is protected by your social security number, a 6 character password, a-z, 0-9 and no special characters allowed. They've had this for at least 6 years now, maybe longer. Early on when I e-mailed them about it they simply stated that it's not their service, in other words; o…

Well, "startup" is a poor choice of words, but he actually has a half-decent idea. As someone who owns dozens of little "tool" sites (think less/scss converters, meme generators, JS beautifiers, etc), I can tell you each is probably 1-2 pages, took an hour to build and thankfully due to some domain squatting (kw in domain) and a low bounce rate I don't have to worry much about SEO. As for the Adsense revenue, I think…
