"Enter Microsoft Research's Stuart Schechter and Princeton University's Joseph Bonneau, who on Friday presented an experiment they created to teach people to memorise very strong 56-bit random passwords through "spaced repetition" at the Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security.

It turns out that it can actually be surprisingly easy to burn a complex password into your brain.

With the researchers' process, which took an average of about 12 minutes per user, 94% of subjects were able to remember a 56-bit password or passphrase."

Very interesting article Jasper! The Research can work for me too....as it saids here....It turns out that it can actually be surprisingly easy to burn a complex password into your brain.



I feel we are not very Password tech savy or are we? Who uses a password generator? 😉
This all presupposes that one 'has a brain'...and if one does that the capacity one has is not better spent on retaining more important information.  I believe that Einstein did not bother with his address as he could look it up in a telephone directory if he needed to reference it or give it to someone else...LOL

 

I am with Einstein on this one...;)
