But sometimes answering a person's security questions gets you right in. /s

I’m told using sentences as passwords is more effective.

Used to teach secure computer systems to military folks - been known for a while that phrases or other random word sets are both secure and easy to remember.

The one that gets me the most are IT security people who insist on you updating your password every 30 days, and don’t allow similar passwords from previous ones. (No Password01, Password02, etc.) The throw in a required capital, lower case, number, and symbol.

You end up never being able to remember the current password, so you have to write it down somewhere, defeating the security in the first place.

Coming up with passwords, security questions is not a problem, it is remembering or securely recording them.

I have a password list that works on over 90% of the computers and servers in the world. It is generated and published every year. The first 100 passwords achieve over 50%. As a rule, none of my easy to remember passwords come near anything on the list. Hackers are notoriously lazy unless they have a specific target, so I should be safe.

Passwords are definitely necessary, but there are systems that can go right around a password directly to info stored.

Facebook has such a system. When I first signed up I listed zero friends. It came up with a suggested list, all were in my email address book. I assumed they had me listed on their facebook page or somewhere face book could access. I asked one such person, and she had me listed no where.

Finally I removed her from my email address book and Facebook quit recommending her as a friend.

I know of another person that had a similar issue.

The only thing that is secure is what you do not put on the internet. Anything you want to keep secure needs to have a physical disconnect from the net, that includes wireless. The dumbest thing is to put secure data on someone’s “cloud”, which I believe Hillary found out the hard way.

Here is a password. Let’s see if anyone can come up with the correct phrase which was used to make the password.
