As a founder of an online password manager, I can't help but notice that you forgot to mention the golden rule again in this article: Choose - and USE - a Password Manager. That should be the zeroth law (Asimov fans eat your heart out). By getting your passwords safely stored and organized, you can make them as ludicrously long, complicated and senseless as need be, without having to commit them to memory. By using an online service, you can access your passwords 24/7, even when you're on the road (and without toting around a USB key chain). Here is an online vs. offline comparison: http://passpack.wordpress.com/2007/01/29/online-vs-offline-password-managers/ Cheers, Tara Good supporting articles you listed off.

I am a long time and very old listener. I have ( or had ) many many passwords and user names for the past 10 years or more. Hard as heck to remember---no no impossible to !! I have kept a " log " book for most. However many many times when I try to log in I get a message to the effect " INVALID "" !!! Some are sites I may not have used for many months !! Do they cancel my login info if I do not use their site for a while ?? Also many sites where I register on they ask for " username or maybe email " Password Somethimes like name address et. I go throught all this exercise and many times get an error or problem message !!! Things like user name must be more that so many characters, password must be more than XXXX digites and less than- sometimes lower case etc---cannot use certain characters etc. --- must contain letters and numbers and on and on. I waste a heck of a lot of time going " BACK " !! Why don't these nuts tell up up front the " criteria " necessary for user name and password" !! George Colorado Good comments Rick !
