RE: How to avoid the '500 worst passwords of all time'
I disagree with the author if by saying a good password is "easily
recalled by its owner" he means "easily remembered". A good (i.e.,
"strong") password should be a random string of upper and lowercase
letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks. Most people can't
remember multiple such passwords. But there are tools that can help
them, such as desktop password software (1Password, Keepass,
PasswordSafe, SignUpShield, Roboform, etc.), USB password drives
(IronKey, ID Vault, etc.), and standalone devices (Atek Logio Secure
Password Organizer, Mandylion, etc.). If by "easily recalled" the author
meant by the use of a tool such as these, then I agree...of course.
