Definitely a must for anyone especially newbies that were hard to make a combination passwords using the standard procedures.
 
Random song title, random friends birthday, two symbols. Super easy to remember.

The two factors in password strength are Length (x) and Character set (y) (x^y = number of possible combinations.) Throwing in a single symbold pushings your character set from 52 (lower + caps) to 93. A jump from x^52 to x^93.

Length: 29
Strength: Very Strong - More often than not, this level of security is overkill.
