I'm a big fan of using long, multi-word phrases for passwords because:
- they're easy to remember
- it's possible to have 'topical' phrases for the particular purpose, this encourages me to use a wider variety of passwords'
- They're good cryptographic seeds
- They're never going to be in your rainbow table
That is why I really hate web sites with rigid password rules (e.g: Yahoo). Why the hell should I have an uppercase char or a numeric if my password is, "if jullian assange is a terrorist then so is my mum".
- 16s 16y agoI agree. That's why I added the base64 encoding option. The sentence you gave would SHA1 | base64 encode to this password: PtyrFg9YAStZenWaledWVdzTl8E= It has uppercase, lowercase, numeric and a special char. If that is too long for some sites (and I have found that to occur), then use the half base64 password: PtyrFg9YAStZen Has all of the complexity as above except a special char.
