Passwords That Are Simple — and Safe (?)

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pardon-my-skepticism dept.

TravisTR submitted a story that talks about simpler passwords. I don't think anyone disagrees that having elaborate rules with 20 char passwords requiring mixed cases and symbols and requiring them to change frequently is a pain, but I'm not sure that allowing unique but simpler passwords is a better idea.

    I like number and letter combinations that don't match real words but have embedded messages that I remember every time I log in.
