My uni started forcing discrete passwords on mail services and they also added a variating password for the wifi. This was an attempt to get students in the habit of creating not-so-obvious passwords in their careers. I think it has been quite effective too. Students realize how easy it is to remember something like ut5r#94!, ask anyone on the campus... they know this by heart.
- PStamatiou 17y agoAgreed! My first password provided to me by OIT at Georgia Tech was just like that - long with lots of entropy and not pronounceable. And sure enough a few weeks of using it daily to logon to the campus wifi I knew it by heart. And every 90 days (or maybe it was 180.. been a while) when Georgia Tech would make us change our password, I picked something just as complex. And know thats how all my passwords are. Unfortunately I now use 1Password to manage a lot of that and I no longer know all of my passwords by heart. :/
