Passwords Are Broken: Here’s What to Do Instead
For years I had what I genuinely believed was a brilliant system.
One password. For everything. Simple. Memorable. Efficient.
It was also, as it turns out, spectacularly stupid. So, having been told off enough times by enough well-meaning tech articles, I overcorrected spectacularly. More symbols. More numbers. A capital letter shoved in somewhere pointless. Somewhere in there I typed a password so aggressively secure that I have genuinely never been able to get back into that account. It’s just gone. Somewhere out there is an email address with photos on it that I will never see again, guarded by a password even I can’t defeat.
I created Fort Knox. I locked myself outside it.
