Microsoft security guru: Jot down your passwords | Tech News on ZDNet

This is non-intuitive, but certainly makes sense when you think about it. It's one more case where a situation becomes so one-sided, the opposite outcome is actually induced. Kind of like gun shows. Because there are so many regulations on guns purchased in stores, gun shows have now become a major area of buying and selling weapons in an illegal way. Close a door, open a window. Anyhow, I'm a big fan of "writing" down passwords... I use a text document that is PGP encrypted. The funny part is I don't think it's going to last very long anyway... at the rate computers are speeding up, we'll either have to have 60 character long passwords or figure out some new way of verifying an individual.
