That is my password!

There's something off about how you type the password. Access denied

I’ve done this test before, using the same device, and this programme did NOT recognise me – or rather, my device.
All the details about my device were wrong again: two matches – namely ‘Windows’ (which almost every device has; I would at least have expected the version to be specified) and ‘x86’ (which is also standard, but the RAM was listed incorrectly too).
So it seems my settings are correct.

In all seriousness this is a genuine problem (due to UTF-8 normalization-- composition vs decomposition) if you switch between MacOS (always use ASCII latin letter codepoint + diacritic codepoint, no matter what; i.e. "o" + "/", "r" + carron, etc.) and anything else (always prefere one single codepoint if the accented letter exists, e.g., in the Latin-1 block: "ø", Latin Extended-A block: "ř")

you joke... But this works really well (when combined with other good things)

A few years ago I participated in @CrackMeIfYouCan contest, and didn't get a huge number of "easy" hashes because I didn't have the right language dictionary.

Given that most password leaks are hashes, as long as you have special characters like this and your hash size is some length that hashcat likes to not support for brute forcing... You're golden.

@Juno Jove space count as character as well fyi
About something password crackers do not expect at all.
A 3 word passphrase if site allows each separated with space and with symbols and numbers in the words make it near to impossible to get ya password. Proven fact. Even sophisticated high end Quantum needs a while to decrypt that right.
Little tricks can do a lot.
