New York Times : A Strong Password Isn’t the Strongest Security

" Some computer security experts are advancing the heretical thought that passwords might not need to be “strong,” or changed constantly. They say onerous requirements for passwords have given us a false sense of protection against potential attacks. In fact, they say, we aren’t paying enough attention to more potent threats. "

I have to admit that I agree with this heretical view point. For some of us just having a password on our computer would probably stop some of the hijacks and viruses. But please note that this is still only the beginning of protecting your digital self. Think about how even our Western Heroes rode with their posse, so there needs to be more than one thing protecting your computer.
