Buse Başar

Last week when I was trying to signup for an application presented here in PH, it asked me to create a password with just 6 characters. I was wondering why do we allow such a low entry barrier for the primary authentication - password. Six characters can be taken down pretty easily, courtesy of today's computing speed and efficiency. What do you think should be a minimum character length for a password to be considered safe and secure?

I sometimes create passwords with a combination of words. For example "be-kind-and-respectful" is just one such combination. At times "read-one-book-a-day" hits me up as it kind of reminds me of one of my goals that I have planned for myself. I do wonder how do you think is the best way to create a good and strong password manually without the help of any supporting tools like browser manager, password manager, etc.
