Steve Gibson has a good discussion on Passwords
Password Complexity
I use SafeInCloud to manage my passwords. After one of the many password breaches on various web sites, I decided I needed to have different passwords for EVERY single web site I use, and KnowFirst is no exception to that rule.
I then have a master password which is different again, and am memory independent now when I log into web sites.
I use LastPass works on all the platforms I use, Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS.
The password generate are pretty good eg. 9mD1rzCnSHy7q48
The researcher who originally recommended that everyone should use passwords with special characters, and change them often has something to say: he was wrong. And he regrets his advice.
pass this onto the security people at SCA - we have to have 12-20 with numbers, letters, special characters, the baby’s first tooth and your umbilical cord, and changed every 60 days.

it’s so revolutionary I’d never have guessed it.
