And people wtill won't listen.

Anyway, I was watching a show on security and they talked about the length of passwords. It seems that an 8 character combo is easy for a machine to crack. A 12 character combo takes much longer.

And the articles below suggest you use a longer password.

It's simpler than using a cracking program to get into the system if you have physical access.

People are lazy about passwords. There are normally 5-4 places you can look and find it written down because the passwords are too complex to remember if you meet the IT depts' requirements for complexity.

Why hack it if you can find it at their desk?
