How to pick a password

News Update -- From the Inter Alia Weblog

Is it...123?
A Dilbert cartoon from this past week made me laugh, because it's so true --password recovery is usually pretty easy, because people choose passwordsthat are easy to uncover. If you're ready to ditch fluffy01, myinitials1234,or even "password" as your password, check out Bruce Schneier's ChoosingSecure Passwords - Bruce discusses how it's relatively easy for someone withthe right software to guess your password, and offers some good advice onhow to beef up your password's security. Then head over to Roboform, aprogram that will create and save secure passwords for you.
