Someone with more time on their hands than I has created a pasphrase generator to go along with it.

As common sense as that procedure may seem, we'd still have to have 2 upper case, 2 lower case, 2 numbers, and 2 special characters - making still just as difficult to remember.

I'd be fine with that if we didn't have to change it every __ (forgot the shelf life... 60 or 90 days maybe?). I can remember a completely random password, but having to change it all the time and remember new ones is annoying.

Do they look at your old passwords? Can you just switch back and forth between two passwords?

One of our venders has that stupid policy and we're able to switch back and forth between two (I think they're "password" and "12345")

I plugged 'correcthorsebatterystaple' into a password tester and it said the password was "weak"

however the microsoft tester said it was "strong"

I bet the tester would say 'Tr0ub4dor&3' is very strong ... but there's the math right there in the comic.

Most password testers are built on the same flawed premise that the comic is making fun of.



Assuming you used this one, it actually ranked 'correct horse battery staple' as good ... removing the spaces made it "weak".

I really have absolutely no idea but when I have to reset my password I may just try it.
