Digital Inspiration has an interesting idea for people who have to log on to multiple web sites from public computers, or just for people who want secure passwords even if they don’t spend a lot of time in internet cafes. It uses paper.
If you use the same password for multiple sites, you have a problem if one of the sites is compromised – your ID these days is often your email address and if the password is also the same, there is a real chance that the bad guys could use the compromised information to impersonate you on other sites.
The suggestion is quite neat and worth thinking about if you don’t currently use different passwords on each site.
