[Dshield] password security

[Matthew Dunlop]

I am very aware of how easy passwords are cracked and more complicated ones
take longer.

I also know that you never use the same password for your banking and e-mail
and other sites.

I have come up with some very long and hard to crack passwords and some not
so long ones too.

(I hate sites that limit you to 6 charters) As my list of sites that I have
created accounts grows, I wonder

How many different passwords should be keeping in my head. And when my head
can't store them all.

Is there a web site that is secure enough to store them at. I know there are
programs that I can run to keep

The data local, but there are some time I don't have a flash drive with me
or I might forget to update it.

 

What sites to you think are secure enough to use?
