Practise.

Don't be that person, especially when you're wrong. Both forms are acceptable.

"In Australian and British English, 'practise' is the verb and 'practice' is the noun. In American English, 'practice' is both the verb and the noun."

I thought he wrote that reply as a suggestion, i.e. that you should practise typing the duress password beforehand.

I thought he was demonstrating how. Make your password a very unlikely but relevant typo of your actual one.

Now tge real question is, was the poster in a state of duress when thy typed that response?

I'm Australian. Never seen "practise", only "practice".

'In practice' is correct, no?

I think they meant "you should practise your duress password".
