Creating Strong and Memorable Passwords
October 21st, 2007, 2 Comments »
My friend Todd has been writing a series of blog posts on passwords as a technology. I haven’t read the others yet, but the fourth installment is great. It discusses how to create strong (and more importantly) easy-to-remember passwords:
These improvements happen at the will and ability of the people making web and desktop applications. As such, users will always be waiting for them to happen if they haven’t already. This post takes things to the methodological side, which is more the user’s domain, by describing the rules I use to make strong yet memorable passwords that are unique for each account.
Todd provides a handy, dandy formula for creating passwords that you’ll take to the grave. I really ought to apply this advice, as I’m totally irresponsible on the password front.
I dugg Todd’s article, and thought you might want to as well.
