I agree with a good password, but disagree with those who say it has to be changed all the time. I've had my passwords for 5 years, with no plans to change them.

I choose my passwords based on fake rapper names that I have come up with in the past. This article is pretty in depth on the subject. Well done.

The biggest problem I have with passwords is how stupid organizations get over how people choose passwords. They implement so many rules, they effectively remove a large chunk of passwords out of the possible pool. For instance, I know of rules that say a password must be between 12-25 characters long, must contain 2 numbers, 2 uppercase, 2 lowercase, 2 special characters, the password can't spell any dictionary words (even through leet speak), and symbols can't repeat more than twice.
After all those rules, the pool is effectively halved. Not only that, but the passwords are so complex, people are almost forced to write them down.

this is why you use lastpass.

Any service worth protecting with a password should already ignore brute force password guesses. Simply delaying response by one second for every wrong guess will kill most brute force attempts.
Is there any valid reason any system should accept more than 100 bad password guesses?
I just don't see the point of strong passwords.

I don't know why I don't hear more about this little tool, but it's brilliant. Robust passwords, unique to every domain, and I can generate them on any browser without ever storing them.

People pick passwords that they would remember. Therefore, this logically leads to bad habits in password picking practice. It's is a simple human flaw / characteristic that is accentuated in the digital age. Nir Hus MD, PhD., General surgeon, www.nirhus.com
