It will fail. Why? Each fucking site has different rules for password creation. I ran into that when I started using a scheme that was easy to remember/type and unique for all sites.
BTW it mentions 100 passwords. What planet is he living on? I be we all have at least 400, 300 of which we don't even know we have. I've been on the net since it started and have more sites that I can name. Indeed, I started using 1Passward last year just to collect slowly over time all my logins. I'm at 150 now and during the christmas season I discover many that I have because I bought a gift! QVC for heavens sake! Look: this whole PW thing HAS to be simplified. Yes we all have schemes for managing logins. But they have lots of failure cases. 2-factor isn't too bad but is a pain at times, especially when you change hardware that you'd like to be "trusted". And the billions of different rules for passwords for given sites is horrid. I think a combo of a simple set of passwords and 2-factor may become my standard, especially with OAuth allowing logging in with Google and others that support 2-factor. My brain is too small. -- Owen On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 10:48 AM, Gary Schiltz <[email protected]>wrote: > Interesting, but sounds pretty boring.
