People don't like change. Don't ask them to change their password.<br />A password is just a to deter someone from attempting to do something malicious.<br />Instead apply server side changes to detect malicious activity or put compensating controls so the user is not hurt. There are options, try them first.<br /><br />Most people end up using 3-4 passwords for pretty much everything. Remember 4+-3 is the magic number of things you can remember, this applies to passwords as well.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5369629723021745680-1146920444392923504?l=fusec.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ashishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03245280252760734079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369629723021745680.post-42165354804002407022008-01-13T17:10:00.000-05:002008-01-13T17:18:40.031-05:00My goal of this blog is promote the fundamental changes in computer security by applying a business viewpoint.
