Makes me wonder if there is a calculable "annoyance" score for license plates.

I imagine single plates like that would already be defeated by calling in "Black Dodge, really annoying license plate that's all ones, Ls and Is"

Some vanity plate systems will let you get one of them (either CODF1SH or C0DFISH say) but once you get one nobody can get the other.

You’d be much better off finding similar cars and copying their plates and using them when needed.

And it would surely stress-test any operating ANPR system.

This comic is what inspired me to start answering "security" questions with one word and five numbers, so my favorite musician is whimsy32910.

Filling a security question in with a hard password can be bypassed by "gosh, I didn't know you'd ever use those (because I'm smol and need help!), I just mashed the keyboard". A random word with a few numbers they'll check.

I use a randomly generated passphrase and store it in my password manager (like "correct horse battery staple" but usually 8 words).
