Many of us at BCSE enjoy xkcd’s comics (www.xkcd.com) since most of the time they are technical and thought provoking in nature. There is one particular comic though that really stood out to us to be very true and highly useful for ecommerce and password strength. We felt it was so good at helping customers create better passwords that we would write about it here.
Too many times we find customers give us passwords that are even more insecure than their example. So try to keep this theory in mind when creating your passwords and remember to rotate your passwords every month or so! Computers are getting extremely good at brute force guessing of passwords.
