>while that's might be true but it also means that the password they use for the PWM is not complex enough to be used for say online banking in their minds which makes the fact that they use a PWM a bit ironic.
No it doesn't; use a passphrase. Mine is a sentence I will never forget, but you're never going to guess/brute force it. You mention this yourself at the end. If only all (any?) web services would allow it.
- dogma1138 12y agoThe use pass phrases for all passwords? use word/story association to remember them, if additional complexity is needed use common substitution camel casing etc. Sorry but if you are trying to make a point that having all your passwords stored in 1 place is better than memorizing good passwords it's wrong.
- EpicEng 12y agoMy point is that it is completely and obviously impractical to expect people to remember a large number of complex passwords, so it's a moot point. I mean, seriously; you can't actually believe that is a sane option. Also, like I said, most services will not allow me to use a common pass phrase because they all have different restrictions. Too long! Must include a special character! Can't include a special character!
