whiteman 14028 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 One of the biggest obstacles people have in creating super-strong passwords is their fear that it'll be hard to remember later. But what if we could make them extremely easy to remember? This article link was a revelation to me. What this article is basically saying is don't worry about making your passwords complex, just make them long. If you don't want the needle to be found in your haystack, then just make your haystack bigger. GRC's | Password Haystacks: How Well Hidden is Your Needle? You should test out your own passwords on this article's brute-force password search space calculator. It'll return an estimate of how long it'll take even the world's fastest supercomputers to brute-force guess your password. It won't take more than a few extra characters to make your password so difficult to guess that it'll take longer than the entire age of the universe to find!
