I disagree with this: storing a longer, more random passphrase in one's wallet is far better than picking a short memorable passphrase. We should be encouraging more use of password managers and/or writing down of passwords. Others who agree: http://news.cnet.com/Microsoft-security-guru-Jot-down-your-passwords/2100-7355_3-5716590.html Bruce Schneier Per Thorsheim. Sean Sullivan from F-Secure I'm sure I could find more names. These are from my last conversation on the subject. -- Eitan Adler Source, Ports, Doc committer Bugmeister, Ports Security teams
