Reading about Information Security for a class I came across a section in the textbook that said this,
" Changed Frequently. Passwords should be changed at regular intervals. Most users should change their passwords at least every 90 days; users with access to sensitive information should change their passwords more often, possibly every 30 days."
That seems crazy to me! I can hardly remember all my passwords right now, much less changing them every 30-90 days.
What do you do for your passwords? Any tips or tricks?
If you want to check your passwords here is a nice site.
(I checked the source and looked up the WHOIS but I can't guarantee that this site doesn't track you, steal your password etc. But at least I thought about it right? 🙂
I like it! I use something similar but much less sophisticated. I might need to start throwing in some symbols and such. <div><br></div><div>And I totally agree with the phishing idea. If you are always forgetting and resetting passwords, you are more likely to slip. <br> <br></div>
