cracked it - It's a Bifid cipher:

So I'm guessing that the Username / Password combo is:

Alliance / Death

Standard alphabet square with I instead of J, do each line separately.

Update and Daily Draw
I'm logged in!

I want to thank Mr. Thunderwolf for cracking the username/password combo as Alliance/Death.

I'm in the process of going through everything on David's laptop, so I'll post again later with more info.

A good friend of mine asked why I couldn't crack the password if I'm psychic, and I said that it doesn't work like that. I see images, but nothing as specific as passwords. If that were the case, us psychics would do a brisk business in identity theft.

I have been haunted by the Death card lately, though, which makes sense, so I've chosen that for my daily draw.



The Death card is interesting in that, rather than representing death as we know it (a finality or ending), the Death card actually represents a new beginning. The Death card heralds the ending of one phase of life to make way for a new one. It represents a major change or transformation. New opportunities await us!

Most Tarots have between a 75 to 86 card deck. I've only found two Tarot's that have exactly 80 cards.

Cosmic Tribe Tarot: contemporary deck

Herstelde Orde Tarot: Dutch

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/cosmic-tribe/

I've tried at least a hundred variations on the password based on these listings and other clues and names from previous posts...even the roman numeral of the death card that Saranna seems to be fixed on. No luck yet.

new post on the hidden blog entitled "The Divine Couple". With reference to tarot, the divine couple is often represented by The Magician and The High Priestess. No luck cracking this yet though.

The Divine Couple entry has this code showing nrpyrpgvp arg gnebg obbxf pbzcyrgr arj gnebg, which rots to aeclectic net tarot books complete new tarot. Using that as a search term on google, I was able to find the password for Lesson #1.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
junoandjupiter


*eta - Lesson #1

Saranna wrote:
Protected: Lesson #1: Eighty
Lesson #1: There were originally eighty cards in the tarot deck. Two are now missing: Juno and Jupiter.

The original order of the tarot deck was obscured by the disappearance of Juno and Jupiter, and by the apparent misunderstanding of several cards – The Priestess, The Priest, Empress, Emperor, Temperance and Death. When the cards are reordered into the original sequence they tell a cyclic story of a man who is born, goes through life, dies, goes to heaven, and incarnates again. 

They tried to come after me, and they want to eliminate me the same way they want to eliminate David. I am now in hiding, and working actively to find David before it's too late for both of us.

I will be in touch soon with instructions for how you can help both of us.
