How To Create An Uncrackable Password

Sidney · 19th August 2005, 06:28

In the past I’ve never really paid much attention to security issues when it comes to user names and passwords. Frankly I figured it was all a lot of overblown hype. This led to an unfortunate incident that involved my website being attacked, apparently by a skillful youth with a propensity for mischief.

I'm now changing my passwords

, because my currents one (2-3) are way too easy to guess.

common sense anyone?
Still, it doesn't really matter, if people want to get in, they'll try other methods to go around the password.

I also change them because I think my sister knows them

. And it sucks, she has a 16 char password while I had a tiny one, I felt l33t when she said that

. But now it's getting bigger (but 16 (1 dictionay word, 1 word she made up and some other chars) is too much).
I'm happy with what I just created, but I won't say a thing about it. :hoff:
