This was a great article that covers why password complexity isn’t necessarily the secret to security: http://www.baekdal.com/tips/password-security-usability
He covers why you’re better off using a password you can remember than a complex password. This is of particular note for IT folks who’ve noticed passwords on sticky notes (as I have — or even written on the monitor itself!).
I admit I sleep a bit better at night knowing my passwords are both diverse and complex. As covered by this Lifehacker article, there are a bunch of great ways to think about security.
Know any good guides or strategies to passwords? Share them in the comments.
