I read a post on simple strong passwords awhile ago and I got the impression that a phrase is good, period. Unless the Bad Guys are out there using a 'common phrase dictionary' attack (still defeated, one would imagine, but the inclusion of a single proper noun), EVERY word is unrelated to a computer.

I had a moment a year or so ago where some spam was sent FROM my Gmail (not masquerading), but it was resolved in less than 36 hours, and that's the only time so far (knock knock) that I've had a problem - using the same or extremely simple variations of the same three passwords and two PIN numbers for the past... at least 15 years. Are we too worried about password security?

Or was this post directed to our avid CIA and missile silo technician audience? ;)
