Secure Your Information - Passwords

[TheGuru]

Cruel but funny

I used to like setting users passwords to something daft like:

• Uranus
  Iamdaft
  Ihavenomemory

:twisted:

Most people use a PIN with a number token (RSA do one called SecureID, the 6 digit number changes every 60 secs).

For those who would like to play with this, RSA do a evaluation kit with 2 tokens and the software. It is good to play with and securing your home pc from your kids !!!

I use a combination of the above for my work and for one customer I have to use all three !

I know that the banks are now looking to use this. I believe that Lloyds is going to deploy this.

When I log into work from Home we use SecureID... We log in using Cisco VPN software, than the Password is made up of a 8 character password PLUS the 6 digit password on the token... we have been using this for the last few years...
BTW I work for a Bank in South Africa.

I use the same password for everything at work. Who wants to hack an electricians workload???

Everything else is random stuff.
