Passwords

There is an interesting article I just read about password strength. It gives estimated times to "crack" a password based on what it contains (numbers, letters, different case, etc). Pretty interesting.

For those of you using lowercase only password with no numbers, it doesn't look good.

I think I am safe...My password at work is 13 digits long with upper, lower, numbers, and a special character. I bet you can't guess what it is. I am thinking of making it shorter though because it take 10 minutes to type it in.
later,
