Yet another great post Nils!

I often have problems thinking up passwords and when I do I often forget them as some of them are so obscure. I don't like to write them down either, I feel insecure when I do that...

This post, however, will help me when next creating a password for something. I am in half a mind to change my passwords for many things now. Thanks! :-) .

Nice article. You've worked out quite an efficient way of creating and remembering passwords. Thanks for the tips.

@Philipp: it was precisely another influx of web 2.0 (ish) apps that made me rethink the way I handled my passwords. Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to comment.

@Adem: True, recently I re-activated my Plaxo account to see what the overhaul was about and I needed my AIM account for that. I had to delve deep into my mindset of the time to remember what my password might have been.

@Andrew: Thank you. I was a little worried that this might be too light-weight for the subject. It still is rather on the easily-digestible side, but I'm glad you liked it. Good luck with it.

This is a very good post and some solid logic for password creation. I'm going to give one of the examples a try from now on.

Good post... I guess I'd better change my passwords from '123456' and my favourite 'password'! lol :)

Joking aside, I have got so many passwords that it does all get very confusing, especially on sites I visit rarely.

I also was thinking about all that. it is actually quite funny, because you get a ridiculous amount of passwords when you're a bit web-active and into web 2.0!
Thank you, really good examples, kind of reminded me of the DA VINCI CODE, with the key and the cipher! :)
