Maybe it would be fine if it was random 4 words like in the XKCD, but otherwise it would cause people to plaster sticky notes everywhere and hardcode it in their computers, no?
- reifyx 3y agoif you work from home, a sticky note with a strong password might be safer than a memorized employee-chosen password

- pseufaux 3y agoAgreed though I'd argue sticky notes happen even with user supplied passwords. When I worked at a university, I cannot tell you how often I found a sticky not on the bottom of a keyboard with a list of passwords.
