    While some organizations such as Google and Microsoft want to kill off passwords, it's not an easy task considering that it's a traditional form of authentication used heavily by almost all online services.

        The worst BJ. (That was a placard someone was holding up in a demonstration against Boris Johnson. I saw a photo of that.) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

            Good thing they didn't recommend 4 words. Half the country using "Bojo the ___ clown" would be even worse. :rolleyes:

            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

              On my work laptop I was recently invited to choose a pin instead of a password, because "it is more secure". But there was a tick-box option to include letters and symbols in my "pin". I'm pretty sure that makes it a "password", or am I missing something :confused:
