From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

Yes, you can use emoji, but wouldn't it be better to use special characters instead? At least is 100% sure to be supported in all modern devices.

Hah! Lots of (shitty) sites don't allow some "special" characters, like '. That's usually a sign that they're storing passwords insecurely, and it's always a sign that they're not following current security best practices (composition rules reduce security).
