“To be effective, passwords must be complex and over 16 characters in length. That’s why passwords fail because people can’t remember 17-character passwords – that are unique for every system. Instead, users should use passphrases they can remember and then append or prepend numbers and characters to make these passphrases complex.” Saryu Nayyar – CEO at Gurucul
