fsasya,of... would also get cracked easily. But I think that is the way to go. Initial letters of the seventh line of the first poem you learned by heart should be easy to remember, and hard to crack, even if attackers have volumes of poetry in their database. And perhaps, which I am using nowadays, a program that keeps a list of your passwords. I have one for my internet passwords. That way, I only need to remember one password, the one protecting the program. -- danco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44054 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
