Want stronger passwords? Understand these 4 common password security myths.

Written by contributor | Oct 7, 2017

Fahmida Y. Rashid at CSO online recently wrote an article on passwords that's worth a look at.  She takes the approach of disrupting our current assumptions on password security, and she makes some good points.

She touches on:

  1. Complexity
  2. Length
  3. Writing down passwords
  4. Mandatory password changes

On that note, curious what your thoughts are on the xkcd cartoon below?
I think this is something that many end users could get behind and that software and applications need to all support (as you know, some still limit password length, come on guys!) (and others would require your standard complexity requirements).  Something to think about....

As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts at support@bedelsecurity.com
