Strong Passwords

It is important that your password is not too easy to guess.

Strong passwords are supposed to have certain characteristics e.g. at least 8 characters, a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols, should not be real words that you find in a dictionary etc. While they might have some purpose many years ago, they are now archaic and worse than useless. However, many organizations seem glued to this weak practice. Check out the [Sidebar info on strong passwords] if you are interested in why.
