The access code from hell

Creating yet another password for yet another new website is already a years old problem. Most people tend to go for the less secure option which is either numerical variants on the same password, or just stick with the same one for several similar websites. We've all got our own methods, and since it's not something that is taught to users, it is learnt organically and by trial and error.

"Through 20 years of effort, we've successfully trained everyone to use passwords that are hard for humans to remember, but easy for computers to guess."

This is because password length matters so much that a random string of English words is actually more secure than a shorter password that follows the stupid rules of containing at least one number and one upper-case letter.

Either way, think you've got a secure password to your online accounts? Think again..
