Markov stats of your passwords would be interesting to me, with the
vanilla stats file and with stats file you could have trained on your
corpus.
My "real world" passwords were usually REALLY weak. In organisations
where stronger policies were set, all users tended to share the same
passwords. Even worse, when a default password was provided and users
were invited to change it at first login, they usually selected a
password that looked alike. When there is an expiration policy, they
just appended numbers. The only hard passwords were for admin passwords,
with the exception of application passwords (backup/backup for the win).
