Everybody these days has a profusion of passwords as more and more of their day-to-day activity is web-based.
And we are regularly exhorted to make them secure by making then obscure and long. But are we just making them harder to remember without necessarily making them harder for the dedicated hackers to break?
I came across this great cartoon on www.xkcd.com which shows we’ve successfully trained ourselves to create passwords that are hard for human to remember but easy for computers to hack!!
