ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Think again. Most people don't give much thought to on-line security. If you are in the minority who do, you owe it to yourself to read this article: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/11/ff-mat-honan-password-hacker/5/ The more I read Wired, the more impressed I am by it. Seems like I often learn interesting, relevant stuff that isn't covered much elsewhere. Anybody else read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I've been writing about that for awhile, although I don't necessarily agree that we have to go to biometrics, either.. http://www.neowin.net/news/passwords-are-dead-now-what http://www.govdelivery.com/blog/2012/11/passwords-are-dead-now-what/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) I use Alaska river names like skwentna. If I forget how to spell them I just look at a map. http://www.skwentnaroadhouse.com/ Lets see some one guess that.

Nanker Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 When Mike Muck-Muck Mularkey came on board as the HC here, he said: Superbowl, was what he always uses as his password. Hey, it worked for him, so I thought that would be fine for me too. But please don't tell anyone. Not sure if it would be so secure if three or more people use the same password.

Steve O Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I hate all of you as others have pointed out you should really use alpha-numeric passwords and sometimes symbols are a good idea as well... try using "I hate 100% of you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
