  Now, watch somebody use it. :P

  Years ago, a fellow BBS user and Sysop (he and his family moved out of
the area a few years ago), had high ascii characters for his BBS
password. But, he had to logon with a macro...because otherwise, it was

for backwards compatability to the old MS-DOS days.

  I use Dashlane myself...it's commercialware, but it has paid for
itself, IMO.
