Best Passwords?

[Wanch]

Does anyone have a good password scheme I can use?

[TotalPenguin]

What do you mean? Well I can say the passwords with letters, numbers and symbols are the safest and hardest to crack.

i agree with totalpenguin ... its really hard to crack somthing with letters, numbers and symbols.

You should require at least 7 characters with one uppercase character and one shift character (!@#$%^&*()) and one number. This seems to be a good password scheme.

If you make them too hard users will right them down which will undermine your whole password scheme.

Yeah, I agree, too. Making the password too hard will affect you as well, just make it moderate and use a word/phrase/numbers or a mix of all them that is known to you.

Let the user assign his own password but put some rules in place. The one Jordan mentioned above seems good.

numbers and letters, no meaning, lower and uppercase

[Jordan]

No meaning are the hardest to remember, though, and will cause your users to write the password down somewhere.

Yes, but it's a good thing. I have all my passwords written down, I don't want to be hacked
