Rethink what you thought you knew about Password Security

I saw this on xkcd.com recently and think it really makes sense. If a password is going to be cracked it will most likely be done by a machine, yet "we have been trained to make passwords that are difficult for humans to remember and easy for machines to guess".

I think it's time for people to start thinking differently and use "pass-phrases" instead of passwords. This will also require developers of websites/applications/etc to not have a limit of length on their passwords and not require all the funky symbols and punctuation that gets us confused and doesn't necessarily make us more secure.

Here is the link to the original website that had this comic. http://xkcd.com/936/
