In fact, I use generated password and PublicKey to login to my remote hosts= . I also following some basic rules (for e.g, change password regurarly). I= just need half-generated passwords for some popular purposes (local machin= es, for e.g). Some good ways are also very useful to help end users to prot= ect themself. Because it's very hard to remember generated password, it's stupidly that I= used to use some mathematics function to generate password (and keep that = function secret). But maths. functions is not easy to use (need a computer = to generate password). Finally I get into 2-d moving on the keyboard as described in my first post= . I check some passwords in http://www.testyourpassword.com/ and see that s= ome stupid patterns on keyboard show a "STRONG" status. I event get the BES= T password with some simple moving around symbols and letters. Though Athony said "qweasdzxc" is a popular I still wonder whether we can u= se complex patterns on keyboard? And what's tool that help me to check pass= word strength? Regards, PS: !!WARNING!! Discussing this topic may cause your habits to be known by others.
