>>This has to be one of the dumbest Ask Slashdots ever posted.
When someone ask the community a question in earnest, especially one which has its interests in mind, is it necessary to belittle the question? This is a longstanding and, ipso facto, disturbing trend amongst Slashdotters. So, why can't we all just get along?
btw, due to the nature of this post, and the prevaling culture here at Slashdot, I can forsee myself as the target of much flaming/dissin'/general discourtesy/etc as a result. Just remember, karma comes back.
Tenfold.
Yeah passphrases are great, but I was under the impression that the underlying concept is to simplify user authentication. Having passphrases 30 or 40 characters long, though easier to remember, greatly increases the impact of typographical errors. Can you imagine having to retype a 46-character phrase because of a simple typo?
