Password Security

Working as a network administrator I'm still surprised at how poor users passwords are. So many want to use the name of a child or pet. I've adopted the use of acronyms lately for my passwords as I find them better for security and easy to remember. For example: irl2eic = i really like 2 eat ice cream This type of "phrase" or acronym password works very well for me. Last Saturday's Dilbert made a nice poke at the use of poor passwords.
