<div style><br></div><div style>I showed this to my class a few years back, and most talked with their parents about it. As a result, many of them changed their passwords for work computers etc. A year later many of them still remember "correcthorsebatterystapler" so I suspect they actually used THAT as their password. I assume it's now an early candidate in any password hacking process. </div>

Nearly all good password systems have a brief lockout after a few attempts. This disables any brute force approach. Foolish systems create obscure passwords that are hard to remember and often written down. Pitiful systems stand idle as a user pours an entire dictionary then more in to authenticate. Following an interesting password report in the New Scientist, I still recommend for my students a triangulated generation algorithm of two short random words with a symbol to concatenate and logical variation between sites. They don't forget it.<br>
