I use Roboform to manage all my passwords (with a strong master password that changes frequently.) I dont actually "know" any of the passwords to the web sites I visit. I use Roboform to generate the strongest possible password each site will accept and each one is different. For systems that Roboform can't fill in automatically, I use the Safenote feature to record the information. I also use Safenotes to record what I use for challenge question answers since I dont use real info for that either.
As of this morning, I have 206 passwords and not one of them is the same. - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 8:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Preventing certain passwords KISS of course, and I don't use pass*words* anymore. A password of Isn't this insane? is easy to remember, for example. Im assuming words with apostrophes and/or hyphens adds complexity right? What I hate are websites that dont allow more than a certain number of characters Preaching to the choir I am sure.

That assumes most people want their passwords to be secure. For most people, their goal is to make their password as easy as possible -- easy to type, easy to remember, and sometimes even easy to share.
