Re^2: 8-character password limit?

I have always wondered what the big deal was about writing passwords down. I do it all the time, if it's something I have problems remembering. Then I put it in my wallet. If I really need to look at my password, it's right there, as safe as my wallet. If someone gets hold of my wallet, they still wouldn't know what the passwords were for, unless it was a co-worker or something.

Now I use my cat's name for a password. But his name is zo4WQfoenc32G, and I change his name weekly.

Writing your password down and taping it to your monitor is probably a trifle less secure than your wallet. I could say that your cat's name would be tough to pronounce, but it probably makes no difference what you call a cat; they don't come when they're called. emc "Being forced to write comments actually improves code, because it is easier to fix a crock than to explain it.
