Tris Hussey's Lifestream

I used to have a simple system for passwords. The passwords weren't great, but I could remember them. Well I realized that those passwords weren't good enough. I have 1Password on my MBP which let's me have one über-strong password manage a raft of randomly generated, strong passwords.

I'm amazed, however, at the number of times I sign up at sites where I can only use numbers and letters for passwords. So, with Twitter having a list of banned passwords, maybe all other sites should too.

Yeah I know it sucks for some people, but you know it's the people with really weak passwords are the ones who also are the greatest risk of getting hacked and accounts compromised. Funny that Twitter is implementing this, since they have their own password security issues.
