A strong Password isn’t the strongest Security

Make your password strong, with a unique jumble of letters, numbers and punctuation marks. But memorize it — never write it down. And, oh yes, change it every few months... Yes, that's it? Or not? 

"Keeping a keylogger off your machine is about a trillion times more important than the strength of any one of your passwords,” says Cormac Herley, a principal researcher at Microsoft Research who specializes in security-related topics.

    i agree with password strength, and memorizing it - however as a translation company we often have problems with clients forgetting their passwords which then makes it very hard for us to over type their text! :-( also they cause havoc with online counting tools like at www.2translate.ch where passwords cause great problems!  :-(
