...does that require an Estonian keyboard, too?

Anyone else think that they have a 'safe' password?

SETI had the right idea with their 32 character account keys... ;)

You want security...get one of the USB portable finger print pads...they stop all this nonsense...biometrics is the way to go.

I have a buddy at a Government type facility and he is one of the muckity mucks in charge of Security there. He says bio-metrics are on the way out. He says the new stuff is not crackable nor can it be used by whacking off your finger. He obviously won't divulge details, but he is VERY impressed with whatever it is.

"whacking off your finger."

Tee Hee.......DO'H!!

The real killer was that it is quite possible to have a glove made with someone elses finger print on the outside...

...if they want into my computers that bad they can have them.

"Identify for retina scan." Hmm.. maybe that should go in the Star Trek quotes thread.

Nothing Star Trek about it.

I don't see anything about retina scans.

One of my buds (a bit eccentric, yah) swears that he is going to add a butt print scanner to his home security system. Think about that one for a mement.........
Talk about cracking a password.....

You simply have to balance security with accessibilty. Dongles can work quite well.

"none so blind as those who will not see" (John Heywood 1546)

Don't drink water, that stuff rusts pipes!


You are making Proof out of Logic, by just being dubious! {Bluestar to me)

In our company we have strict policies urging to change passwords regularly and using a bit complex passwords - so for shared computers the actual passwords are noted on a sticky note slip on the backside of the keyboard :-/

Yup thats still pretty much standard in most offices, and I might say quite helpful as well. When you're a computer support guy sorting out PC problems and the guy who's reported it is inconveniently away, it helps you get on with it!

p.s. the other favourite is under the mouse mat!

Our people stick a sticky note on the telephone with the login names and passwords. I am trying to get people to stop, but it is EVERYWHERE!

If IT insists on changing passwords every 30 days, and insists on very complex passwords, the only way people are not going to call IT every time that they log on is to write the silly things down. Allow the users to keep the same password for a while, and you should notice a drop in the writing of them (for my office password which must be changed frequently, I have a part that I have memorized that is combined with a part that I write down). It must have letters and numbers and lower case and capitals, and must not be a scrambling of a word if the numbers are removed (that has gotten me a couple of times), and this must be true at 8 characters, 14 characters and the full length of the password. Now try comming up with one of those that you can actually remember once every month.

By the way.

Everyone should know nothing is save for sure.
But for what reason.
I have no adress or tel numbers saved unencrypted on my machine.

So have fun.
