password question – sort of
LockedI recently had a rootkit infection and after cleaning the rootkit I changed account passwords to a slew of accounts. Then I promptly forgot the two critical passwords. Not a big deal as I have recovered those as well. Only had to deal with the time lost and the frustration.
So, the question is not how to recover passwords but rather looking for suggestions and ideas that others have found useful for remembering complex passwords. My passwords run 11 to 25 digits of mixed case alpha/numeric/symbol that are associated with quotes or phrases that I remember well but in which I also use character substitution. Writing these passwords down is unacceptable.
So, what methods have you found useful in remember complex passwords?
