True to an extent... but only if the frequency of changing the password |
| 13 |
doesn't result in you doing something dumb to help you remember the |
| 14 |
current password of the day - like writing it on a post-it and sticking |
| 15 |
it underneath the keyboard... ;) |

One of many reasons why I use a password manager (I prefer the |
| 18 |
Passwordmaker firefox extension, even with all it warts - it only stores |
| 19 |
settings, not the passwords themselves)... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
But there are still only a couple of (critical) passwords I change |
| 22 |
frequently (what I call frequently - every 3-6 months or more)... |
