    Why burn a "good password" in a standards document? It's common
    practice to bad passwords as example source material for hashes and
    digests in standards https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1321
    Agreed. A sample should be something like yourpassword

    Being here for many years, you still don't know about 8-symbols limit still existing in other software and the common practice to use one password for all FTN stuff?

    My suggestion: "password". Or, even better, "pAs5w0rD".
    Both are (1) readable and (2) inacceptable for actual use.

    It's a SAMPLE Alexey, not literal.
