Password options

A couple of weeks ago I had a blog on password entropy. The long and the short of it, you need random passwords.

For years I suffered with trying to remeber passwords, and I used similar passwords all the time. That all changed after I found LastPass.com.

LastPass.com is a password manager that works on multiple platforms, I use mine on Windows and Android. By using a master password and random passwords for subordinate sites. This elimanates most of the security risks you encounter.

Check out Last Pass and let me know what you think.

Don't Reuse Passwords

As part of my job I end up needing a lot of different passwords.   I use a system of random passwords that I change every three months.  Many people ask is it really necessary to do this.   I could give you a dry or canned answer, but in this case I think that I have found a comic that provides some humorous insight.
