    Even the NIST says that rule for passwords is more trouble than helpful. But yet the government and companies still insists on it.

    Häagen-Dazs certainly does have meaning.

    It makes me feel better.

    For those worried about the spider fact, that is only really referring to equivalent mass, like saying “humans could eat 50 Empire State Buildings each day”. Spiders are specialized predators, and would have no way of consuming humans even if they tried.

    That eating all humans remark would be more believable if we brought back all the bugs from the Carboniferous Era, before the dinosaurs, like the eight-foot millipede.

    So it’s no wonder that Mary Lou didn’t like spiders and snakes.

    I use the VIN to a Vista Cruiser that I owned in the mid-1980s, plus a lower case letter and a punctuation mark.

    He may regret but best stay incognito for his health! My military pay office has such a system, and the user needs to change it every few months without repeating one previously used. Blindfold for you sir?

    Diceware is an interesting approach to generating passwords. https://diceware.dmuth.org/

    Having worked on computers since the mid eighties I always struggled to come up with new passwords. Did the usual using my wifes name, the dogs, favorite football team etc. Finally figured out an easy way to remember it, I use a pattern. Now I just have to remember the first letter and the pattern. Wished I had thought of it years ago.

    Passwords are easy to create and remember. I just use sentences from obscure books as my passwords. CallmeIshmael would be an example, though Moby Dick is a little too popular for me to actually use as a source.

    wow, RBION has scraped the absolute bottom of the barrel lately. Kind of useless ones. sigh. There were times I was tempted to say it, but this time I actually feel it -I want the seconds back that it took to look at today’s panels.

    But the spiders couldn’t eat all the Lionfish (even if they could swim) since each female lays 1 million eggs a year…

    RBION seems to like topics dealing with spiders. Well, I can flow with that.

    What’s worse than a box of spiders?A box that was meant to be full of spiders.

    More to come.

    So you know the fear of spiders is arachnophobia?

    What’s the fear of chainsaws?

    Common sense.

    I keep a list of all my passwords on an encoded page on a thumb drive. When I need to look one up, I plug in the drive, then unplug when I’m done.

    And some organizations require you change passwords periodically and the new password be entirely different from the last [insert random number] passwords you have used. And other ridiculous rules.

    Keep the passwords simple and easy to break so the hackers can get to you.

    The best passwords are actually pass phrases, because the more a hacker has to decode, the stronger your password is. A pass phrase contains spaces and is essentially a full sentence with punctuation if allowed.

    Of course, humans being who we are, in short order the most popular pass phrases will undoubtedly be such classics as “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs” or “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country”. sigh…..

    Even worse than passwords are the security questions. My favourite book, movie or athlete today might not be the same favourite 6-12 months later.

    The fish that Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek – The Next Generation had in his “ready room” aquarium was a lionfish. Apparently its name was Livingston, so I guess it was a male, and didn’t lay eggs. :-D
