You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

    And here I am avoiding even special characters because I worry about having to enter them on a French keyboard at some point.

    I use only special characters that are on the same places with most layouts (at least english and finnish). I suppose passwords with ä or ö might be a bit more resistant to brute-force attacks, but it causes far more problems than it might theoretically solve.

      • True, and for most credentials I of course use password manager, but things like workstation password are still something I need to manually type out and for those 65 random characters aren’t really practical. And for those I use things like ‘HorseBattery69+’ instead of ‘SalainenSäläsänä69+’ since while they (could be) equally long and complex the latter is pretty much impossible to type out if keyboard setting is something else than finnish (swedish works too I think).

    • also nothing that looks the same for the annoying time when you do have to do some analog copying

      no I, l, or | and i usually avoid ‘, “, !, /, \ (which one was it again?) and a few others that i have set in my password manager
