Love the recommendation for diceware style passwords.
You can easily remember 4 to 6 random words. You really will be surprised how quickly it is to memorize and type after a day or two. Mixing them up with what separator (if any) that you use, and if you number/special character substitute that adds dozens of possible permutations on a single password. And just using 4-letter words (over 100,000 in the English language) leads to a 100 quintillion possible passwords without any separator or character substitutions.
The next requirement should be no arbitrary changes to passwords. End users should be able to pick a strong 16 character password (based on uniqueness and the other password strength tools they recommend in the article) and only change it if they forgot it or a breach of their account is suspected.
- roflmaostc 3y ago+1 You can even make proper sentences which makes it easier to memorize them more quickly For KeePassXC I have something like: ilikeeatingicecreamonsundaysaftermovies Much safer than anything like Xak1k99u??.1 which no one can remember efficiently
- zwirbl 3y agoI usually make up a sentence in my local German dialect. Where I live it's not at all unusual to write texts or chat in it and it oftentimes barely resembles German. Once while playing Counterstrike 1.6 and using public chat some Germans asked if we were Swedish because of that. It definitely messes up dictionary attacks
