I would like to remind everyone here posting about the impracticality of using separate passwords for different sites.

There are several groups that have stolen millions of passwords, the group on the top of my mind right now is Lulzsec. Do a Google search.

Anyway, they hacked porn sites, PSN, and the CIA (or FBI, can’t remember) sites and leaked those passwords to a massive amount of people.

Those (many thousands) of people used those passwords and entered them into bank sites, forums, even Facebook.

Bottom line is: Follow these instructions! Just because you can’t completely understand how someone can steal your password doesn’t mean they can’t.

Pass phrases work rather well. It makes human memorability work out a bit better and even if the list of words you choose from were known, it can be made to make for effective phrases.

If a language has typically 5000 words in typical use, then three random words would
be 5000^3 combinations to search, even if I know I should be search on only words.

Consider using something else for a space symbol.

Skeptic,

The last cracking contest I ran, offered the participants the chance to know among their group, how long and in what order their password was cracked. Also, the group was given a brief on any feature of passwords that tend to lead to its longer survival against the cracking software. This free level of reward is often very motivating.

If I were to give out awards to winners, I would make it a T-shirt that says, “The average password lasted longer than 36 hours against a Pentium Quad Core, how about yours?”

Or, “My average password lasted less than 2.5 Minutes just like 50% of you all.”

Can RoboForm (or any other password manager?) be used on public computers?

I have heard of a suggestion in regards to password security that I wonder if it is true. Instead of thinking of your password as only a word, but as a phrase such as “I love to vacation in palm springs”. The idea being that password cracking programs can only guess at the whole phrase at once not one character at a time. So the above phrase isn’t going to be found in any dictionary. Does this theory hold any water, or is the premise faulty that password crackers can’t break the password one character at a time. What are your thoughts?

Would it be insulting if I were to offer an award for a hacking contest, such as to the person first successfully hacked flirt4free.com? What kind of award would be good? Should it be a token symbol like an hacker statuette, or a symbolic $100?

How would we know s/he actually successfully hacked, without doing any damage to the site of course?

Don’t put too much trust in the Microsoft password checker. According to it, the following is a “best” password:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1

So is:
111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Whereas one of my 8 character passwords with capitals and funky characters in a non-dictionary word is classified as “weak”.
