Passwords
Passwords
I have an evil scheme to make everyone forget their passwords. It has the following rules.
1- When choosing a password, a person is not allowed to use the name of their pet, family, friends, their phone number, their birthdate, or indeed anything which might be particularly memorable to them.
2- A person must choose a different password for each service that needs one. Thus, the more passwords a person has, the more likely they are to forget some.
3-A person may not write down their passwords.
Curiously enough, these are exactly the guidelines that security experts already give us. I leave you to draw your own conclusions.
