Passwords: Not Going Away Anytime Soon

Best Practices Are The Best Idea
I have always firmly believe in good solid passwords, they make it impossible to guess and make brute force attempts nearly impossible. Everyone knows that a good password ideally has numbers, characters, non-alphanumeric characters (such as %*#!) in them, but what people fail to realize is that to make a password even stronger it shouldn’t make sense. I can probably assume a lot of people do things like !rover2014. Which looking at it is a relatively strong password, but !pigsnorkel5430? is a much stronger password, not just based on the question mark at the end, but based on the logic of the combined word of pigsnorkel.
