Don't you wish passwords were that easy anymore?

With everything we now do online, passwords are like the locks on our doors when it comes to personal security. We entrust these little strings of letters and numbers to keep our information safe. Information that is the key to our entire lives. Hackers, this era's equivalent to Bonnie and Clyde, spend their days trying to figure out how to crack our codes--and they're getting damned good at it.

Bruce Schneier, the internet security guru has a blog that is geared toward helping people stay secure and create hard to break passwords, although even he notes that there is no such thing as a completely unbreakable password.
