Password Strength

I was reminded of this today when microsofts "live" mail reject a password as too long !

They invented the "complicated password" which resulted in lots of passwords like G00gle4pp being used, made to be accepted by ***p password policies.
Not only easy to remember, but easy to crack.

Next time you have to make up a password and there is one of those "Password Strength Meter" boxes just try ****** and see how many stars you need to get the password rated as "excellent".
