So, you all prob­a­bly remem­ber my rant­ing about pass­words here pre­vi­ously. Today i ran­domly came across Jason Kottke’s page of stu­pid pass­word require­ments, and he linked to an arti­cle by Thomas Baek­dal on good pass­words that says exactly what I said, only bet­ter and with more research. He also posted a FAQ later that answers the (mostly stu­pid?) ques­tions peo­ple had about his first article.

Baekdal’s post is from early 2011, and I’m still hav­ing to keep a crappy 8 char­ac­ter, 1 spe­cial char­ac­ter, no consecutive-special-uppercase-number-signs pass­word in the sta­ble, to trot out for bad, bad, bad web­sites I still have to deal with.
