Hi list(s) sorry for crossposting but I think this is "relevant" to
both lists.
I wrote an article about secure(r) passwords and easily formed ones
aimed at the "user" level which can be found here: http://blog.
2blocksaway.com/2006/10/29/easy-passwords-that-are-secure/
I then proceeded to send this to some of my clients in pdf form and
as weblinks and i got quite a few mails this morning regarding it,
some of them good, some of them bad. And the bad ones i need some
help with.
I was told that Windows vista will not let you use (SPACE) in your
password , can someone confirm or deny this? also someone said that
only the most recent version of linux allow you to have long
passwords, according to my memory, this has worked already for a
looong time (i remember i used a long password quite a few years back
already) so any info on that would be good too. Any pointer as to how
to improve this article would be excellent since quite a few of the
people I know use my stuff as reference and I wouldnt like to be
"that" wrong :)
Thanks already for any help, i appreciate it.
regards,
//F. Rommel
