You’re arguing that this method is less secure because it has a theoretical attack, while totally ignoring the fact that the current method has a known attack.

Edit:



Why? Yes, passwords with semantic meaning are slightly worse, but still vastly better than most normal passwords.

Again:

You’re arguing that this method is less secure because it has a theoretical attack, while totally ignoring the fact that the current method has a known attack. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than the alternative (when a password manager isn't available? Yes!
Sorry for my bad choice of words, I was not arguing that it is less secure than the common method, I was just trying to say that it is not the safest, for example a string like "1o3junr4eounjjaaa420asdmf21mno21r90sd9Lmjsaf2104k SPADPjfesoafa90sa90dfas" would be at the same time long enough to destroy any brute-force attack, random enough not to appear in any dictionary, but the downside is that it is almost impossible to memorize, and painful to type every time. When we have a password manager, then it is not a problem, but since for SA-MP it is not possible to implement it, then it is much better to use the correct horse method than using "p4$$word".
