I say that because unlike ALL the rest of the comments here, he has gone through the trouble of actually benchmarking his assumptions of what works and not. His findings are among others that you *should* split up words and use as a "pass phrase", not a single "pass word", like this article suggests. So if we should use pass phrases with spaces for security, why not "Keep It Simple, Stupid" and write full sentences with proper punctuation. These would be hard to brute force, and are extremely easy to remember. They are long enough and contain the special characters+numbers needed at some sites, they can be adjusted over time and differ for each site/domain: Company pass phrase: "My 5th Company pass!" Somebank.com account: "Somebank: Chris the 3rd!" I have also read and benefited from that article you mention, and I’m surprised no one has commented on it.

I'd struggle to tell them to someone in words - I have to see the keyboard in order to type the password. They are still character based, but it's all in how you look at it :-) Most of my passwords are simply patterns on the keyboard.

The things what I am pretty sure about even thought I'm not doing that anymore (however used to) is that people tend to use very same password for everything. So if done that it is really very important to have kind of password which is untraceable. Thank for all those great ideas. What a great ideas.

Like firefox has a password manager built in. Just remember the one password, and it has lists of the others and the websites they correspond too, even fills them out automatically. You only have to create and remember one strong password. What do people think about password managers on client side. Like firefox has a password manager built in.
