World Password Day

I think that we shouldn’t be calling May 6 Annual Password Day. We should be calling it World Passphrase . Passwords is yesterday’s news. They are outdated and more easily guessed or found on rainbow tables. We should also be seasoning the phrase by adding salt, pepper or a condiment for that matter.

Also, you you have a catchphrase or you always quote a movie, don’t use that as or passphrase. In the last office that I worked in, someone would quote Friends and the Jerk Store.

So… “WEWEREONABREAK95” isn’t a good password?
