Password policy: good + strong passwords

[stefan]

Hi guys,

I really recommend to use good/strong passwords, which should be:

Password:

has at least 15 characters;
has uppercase letters;
has lowercase letters;
has numbers;
has symbols, such as ` ! " ? $ ? % ^ & * ( ) _ - + = { [ } ] : ; @ ' ~ # | \ < , > . ? /
is not like your previous passwords;
is not your name;
is not your login;
is not your friend's name;
is not your family member's name;
is not a dictionary word;
is not your mail address;
is not a common name.

From: strongpasswordgenerator.com, you can use this password generator: http://strongpasswordgenerator.com

I really recommend not using one password for different sites! Only one password for one website.

I decided to change the password policy on this forum:

For registered users you must change your password after 100 days (and it must be different than your previous password).
