Think your Password is strong enough?
« on: August 16, 2010, 08:20:54 am »
Another day, another story about the power of computers.

Here's an article from the BBC News website, regarding password strength, that's worth having a look at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10963967

So; Are you sure you want that high-end Graphics Card now?
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Very interesting absic, I missed that story. Thanks for posting it. I must admit that I didn't used to be that carefull with my passwords but now I use a program called Roboform that not only generates long totally random(as far as is possible in any computer system) series. It also auto fills forms which is a bonus.
