Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I’ve seen the argument for sentence based passwords before (http://xkcd.com/936/), but I have yet to start using it. Definitely something to consider.

I’ve read quite a few articles about choosing passwords recently and how easy they are to hack etc. With regards to your level 1 and level 2 passwords both are fairly easy to hack. Hackers can use a whole array of tools to work out your password such as dictionary attacks or simply writing a system that will iterate through a list of possible combinations.

Your level 3 password is totally random but still susceptible to the same attacks although it would take longer to crack (it could always be the first combination they try though, you never know). However with your level 3 password you have lost usability hence the need for Passpack. I’m not having a go at you for this but wanted to point out to any other readers who stumble across this is that the common web users won’t want to store there username / passwords anywhere, they probably won’t even know about online services that will do this.

So how do you create a secure password that can be remembered? I’ve read in a few places that a jumbled up sentence can often be the best solution. The secure side comes from the length and combination of words in the sentence. The fact its a sentence or slightly jumbled sentence means the user should be able to recall it.

Of course some sites have limitations of what you can have in your password… ridiculous really… it’s giving the hacker clues.

Hey Jordan,
Another issue has arose for me. As of this morning i am not able to log into the site becuase i cant bring up the login page. /wp-login comes up as disconnected or moved. I havent played with the files since the last time it worked. Any clues on what might be going on?

Jordan, Yes, that did answer the question about the tags. The use of them on your blog is a good example. Also, adding a test post brings up the category. Thanks again for your help!

Anthony:

It looks like you might have your WordPress URL set to not have the www. Go into the admin, then settings, then general and see if you can add the www to both the WordPress address and the Site address. Save the changes and see if that fixes your problem.
