What I Do About Sucky Passwords
May 16th, 2009 Introduction
A friend was recently asking me about passwords. He’s heard some of my password rants in the past and was curious how I handled passwords. I’m going to lay why most people have bad passwords and what I do to get around those issues. I know my solution isn’t new or radical, others have done similar things before, I’m just publishing it as an example and to get people thinking.
