Comment on Password Aging at the College of Charleston by Gary Smith

I am pretty paranoid bacause i ve been exposed to some keyloggers and i know how easy it is for someone to get your passwords and steal valuable data. I now use different passwords for each important task i need to do, and i generate the passwords based on an algorithm that i can remember, based on the website. This produces unique strong passwords that can't be easily exposed, and if i do get hacked, it will be only on one account.

"We still expect high school students to take multiple years of mathematics but not even a day of computer science" That is true and its a pity that Computer Science is not taught early. Fora graduate who is not in the scientific, technological or mathematical fields, computer science is a lot more useful than calculus. Meili's Runescape Blog - The Runescape Wilderness

One thing that confuses me when it comes to passwords that need to be secure are banks using pictures or site keys. I don’t see how that would help them with security.

Something that may help with security at your college is if you login from a different machine than normal it asks you a security question to make sure it’s you. I know my credit card company does that, it is annoying, but I imagine it cuts down on the trouble.

Just create the strong password, remember it, don’t lose it. and use virtual keyboard to prevent keylogger. It is safer eventhough very traditional.
