Passwords Security
Passwords are an inescapable part of our digital
lives. While there are many technologies that seek to
replace the common password, it is unlikely that any
of these alternative solutions will supplant
passwords any time in the near future.
The objective of creating a strong password is to
prevent against many types of guessing attacks like
brute-force or dictionary attacks. Before the
construct of a strong password is discussed, keep in
mind that a password must also be familiar and
remembered easily enough to be recalled and typed
accurately at a later time.
Creating strong passwords
Choosing a password is a pragmatic process, and
an optimal solution does not exist for creating a
password that is easy to recall when needed but
strong enough that it cannot be easily guessed or
cracked.
