Bro's password… must've forgotten
$begingroup$
My overseas friend has forgotten the password to his SackExpunge account, and the only information he wrote down about it was this:
Username: LiveSound
Password:
rupn4u818n0
However, the password he wrote down turned out to be invalid. Can you help him figure out what his actual password is?
HINT 1
My friend is Taiwanese.
HINT 2:
Added a relevant tag.
cipher knowledge language password

Considering your first hint, are the numbers suppose to represent letters that sound similar? In Taiwan, the language spoken is somewhat similar to Hokkien, and 4 is pronounced 'si', or 'C', 8 would be 'peh', or 'P', and 1 would be 'yi' or 'E'. I'm not sure about 0 though.

@Arch2K your assumption that Taiwanese language is involved here is right! However, the process is a bit more involved than simply replacing numbers with letters. The final answer should look more recognizable than it is currently now.

One possibility is that your friend wrote down
the latin letters that appear on the keys he hits, except he uses a two-language keyboard such as the one below. Therefore the Taiwanese characters would be
$$ㄐㄧㄣㄙ'ㄧㄚㄅㄚㄙㄢ$$
but I don't know what that means, online translators fails at interpreting this.
It reads $$chins'iapananqquad text{ (China/Japan?)}$$
which doesn't ring a bell either.
Of course each key also features different kanji, but that makes too many possibilities without the help from a reliable translator.
