I'm on a roll now. I just lost my whole keychain!

Luckily, I saved the process I used to get the password in my email. This is what I wrote:

Add one to ten and get a pet
Switch to the alternative
Now make it a candy
Put its first year squared between the parts
Then flip it with 'S'tandard 'E'ncryption.

On the site I am trying to log-in to, I found my Password Hint.

Please use the hint to check your answer before posting. If the process was done correctly, then the hint will confirm that the password is correct.

Don't bother trying to work with the password hint first. It only makes sense once you have the complete password. Follow the process to get the password, then double check it with the hint. I only gave the hint to prevent people from posting many wrong answers.

Alright, I'll add a real hint:

"Add one to ten" will result in a number. But it's not 11. ;) Think outside the standard mathematical rules.

• I just wasted my lunch hour trying to add ten to 1 to get a pet. – TTT Mar 16 '16 at 18:58
• Considering the hint '2X': Adding $2\times 1$ to the 'n' in 'ten' gives tep (caesar cipher), which is pet in reverse. This could in turn be made into PEZ. – Carl Löndahl Mar 16 '16 at 19:18
• Oh no! Yesterday I spent all that time adding "ten to 1" and now you tell me I should have been adding "one to ten"... – TTT Mar 17 '16 at 15:23
• Hey, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with these lately. Have you considered using a password manager? – Ian MacDonald Mar 17 '16 at 15:45
• @MichaSprengers, I also thought about 101 Dalmatians yesterday but couldn't think of anywhere to go with it. – feelinferrety Mar 17 '16 at 16:28

Xvg3744225Xng

Explanation:

Add one to ten to get a pet.
101 : (Dalmatians) - dog

Switch it to the alternative.
dog : cat

Now make it a candy.
cat : Kit-Kat

Put its first year squared between the parts.
Kit-Kat was first produced in 1935, squared is 3744225, so "Kit3744225Kat"

Then flip it with 'S'tandard 'E'ncryption.
"Kit3744225Kat" with rot13 turns into "Xvg3744225Xng"

And indeed, "Xvg3744225Xng" contains two letters X and thus agrees with the hint.

• KitKat....sigh..... I should have thought of that =D – Khale_Kitha Mar 18 '16 at 13:45
