No more passwords!

Thu, Oct 22, 22:52 | 0 comments

Use a “pass-passphrase” instead. Let’s see the difference between these two.

Password

Let’s see its definition:

A password is a secret word or string of characters that is used for authentication, to prove identity or gain access to a resource (example: an access code is a type of password). The password must be kept secret from those not allowed access.From Wikipedia

So, first of all it is a “word”. Often something like “pa5vv0rd” or something similar: one word or one word with some strange signs like “$!.,;%”. If they are above 8-10 characters, you may think it is strong enough. Wrong! Having the feeling of ‘being the owner of a secure password’ or the owner of ‘the One Ring to rule them all’ you start to use it everywhere: email account(s), forum(s) and social network sites, etc. If you do so, you can kiss good-bye to your internet identity; someone will stole it for sure.
