XKCD on Memorable But Secure Passwords

Jason Jason

To anyone who understands information theory and security and is in an infuriating argument with someone who does not (possibly involving mixed case), I sincerely apologize.

Today’s XKCD comic is too true and it seems to be based on this research paper, The True Cost of Unusable Password Policies: Password Use in the Wild.

Unfortunately, I now wonder how many people will set their password to ‘correcthorsebatterystaple‘.
