this is not about the domain Key.
password security has been something i've been working on for over a year now, trying to get a system where i KNOW the passwords just by knowing the domain name.
cpanel password, ftp, wp-admin, emails.
as well as being able to satisfy most places i go like optus, my whm, a forum, a site membership etcc
for me there has been something missing, something simple
what i had was once discovered, anyone it was then easy to alter it to have every password i have.
so heres my answer:
start with using a character like #,%,$ whatever, this satisfies complexity for many password criteria
then a single lower case, could be a,b,c or x,y,z representing the area you are logging into to eg: m for email
next something in capitals representing the domain, could be first 2-4 letters, last letters, or the vertical eg: MEC for a mechanic even though the domain is dubbomotors.
next a memorable (for you) set of numbers you don't use anywhere else eg: 2478 the postcode of where you grew up?
add another character like (,*,^
up till now its pretty easy to crack but i doubt people would expect a "check digit" , work out how to gather one but never the same one for all of course.
eg: if your password is now %mMEC2478*13 , 13 being that m is the 13th letter in the alphabet

after the 13 you could add a # , # is the character above the 3
this is just a base idea to alter but modified to you it will be easy to never have to write down another password and it will give you a password with 12+ characters which will satisfy most criteria
i think it would be impossible to crack if you had no knowledge of the FIVE + different criteria being used.
