True but the admonition isn't "Don't write down passwords if you cannot read them back securely". It's "Never, ever, ever write down a password no matter what!" In the current environment bad passwords are a far greater threat than that of friends or co-workers sneakily reading them. Common sense applies. Writing down passwords doesn't mean you have to read them aloud while sitting at a hotel bar. -- John Hasler [email protected] Elmwood, WI USA
