I've been wondering about the security of using song lyrics as a master password, actually - been doing the whole migration from gmail (shudder) to Proton with custom domains, and with that finally succumbing to using a password manager.
When you say "take the first letter of each word in the line", do you mean you're making random words rather than using the words themselves?
It's my understanding that, purely mathematically, "take on me take me on ill be gone in a day or two" is more secure than "TomTmoIbgInadot" - like that one xkdc comic.
If anyone knows: are song lyrics or even book/movie quotes considered insecure as passwords along the same veins as, say, your birthday or street address would be? Is it reasonable to assume that if someone is trying to break into your account, a hard-break attempt would include logic for "sensical / pre-existingly used sequence of words"? (From my surface level understanding of how hard basic text search is to code, I find it... difficult to believe?)
