Where do you hide your passwords? |

Password - yes - but why so many?
Login to a workstation, login to check emails, login to intranet applications, login to other computers: even today, the average user is not spared the inconvenience of logging-in to different computers and applications on different platforms, usually with different passwords, on a daily basis.
The average user has to remember four different passwords for six computer access authorizations. On top of this, users should only store these passwords in their own heads.
More effort, less security
Multiple logins to different systems take place at the expense of security. One login would noticeably reduce the time and effort required, for both users and their employers. Large enterprises actually pay two or more members of staff solely for the purpose of resetting forgotten passwords and allocating new ones.
The security of the system is compromised due to overtaxed users, who not only tend to store their passwords in their minds, but also in other, usually unsuitable locations.
Only one password, still less security
Those users who manage with only one password within a heterogeneous computer network have to keep to the system with the shortest possible password length, within the bounds of the password length authorized by the network. Systems that only authorize short passwords often protect themselves by keeping the password database secret or by means of slower evaluation.
The shorter the password, the easier it is to discover using the Lexicon method. Thus, the entire system is only ever as secure as the weakest link in the chain. Today, programmes for the discovery of such loopholes in security are accessible to anybody. They have telling names, Satan or Crack, for instance.
