This is why I prefer alphanumeric passwords. Make it long enough and you have the same security. Here are some examples:

Memorizing them or keeping them secure is a different problem. I just write mine down and store it on paper in my wallet.

Topic: How to get private keys from encrypted bitcoin-qt? (Read 2378 times)
It isn't working for me, I'm getting this error: Method not found (code -32601)
Could you give me an example of what should I write? <100> isn't working, neither without the "<>".

Yeah I gave up on that one. It is clear that that user isn't interested in "best practice". They've already made up their mind about what they want to attempt. They posted a question "Is this a sound idea?", and when they got multiple answers saying "No." their response was essentially, "But I want to do it anyway." Not sure why they even bothered asking.
Was just about to say the same. You beat me to it.

As an example for Linux: walletpassphrase 'This "has quotes" in it'
and for windows: walletpassphrase "This \"has quotes\" in it"
(not sure about Mac but it is probably as per Linux)
You'll have to correctly escape and/or quote your passphrase (and that works differently for different OS platforms).

Does this work even if my password is an entire phrase with correct punctuation?
cause it's giving me an error

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get my private keys from my bitcoin-qt client, it is encrypted and I think that's why it won't give them to me with a simple dumpprivkey command.
Anyway is it even possible and if so how?
