Drop the Micro$oft Windoze world altogether. No worries about viruses or password crackers with most other OS. With some other OS, you can even disable (or not enable) an Admin account, therefore limiting any password phisher from doing anything malicious to your machine (granted your logged in level of permissions). Come on, it’s time to make your move…

I have a simple rule – I save to favourites and then immediately rename with the username and password.

We have so many systems passwords which constantly require changing that this is the easiest way for me to remember – where it is and what gets me inside without the assistance of some systems administrator or quizz question.

I use abbreviated Bible verses such as Pslms123. The possible combinations are endless. It wouldn’t work for everyone, but at least it mixes alpha and numeric characters and reminds me of salient passages of scripture.

I have a simple rule…Password should be made up of two bits of information = +.

generic bit – Which is the common bit in all your passwords.

random bit – This bit changes with every other password for example for your work login you can use the company name as the suffix with the date you started on. Some piece of information which is not everyone knows about.

Now million bucks question – Is it secure?? Nothing is secure. Security is a combination of anti-virus + monitoring the systems…

Absolutely! I’ve been preaching something like this for a long time – but I eschew wimpy passwords. Where I can my passwords are phrases, and inspiring quotations at around ~50 characters. Maybe not what you want to type all the time – but it forces you to rehearse something you WANT to remember, not just a silly password. People are such memorization wimps – use your password to STRETCH your memory!

Good idea but very unsecure . You’d better get a password manager like Roboform or Web Replay.

Passwords as reminders…

The Bad Language weblog recommends setting your most oft-used passwords to helpful reminders. For example, the author suggests trying out passwords like “eatsomefruit,” “drinkmorewater,” or “gooutrunning” to keep your daily health goals in mind….
