Every computer user must face the problems of password security. According to a recent British study, passwords are usually obvious: around 50 percent of computer users select passwords based on names of a family member, spouse, partner, or a pet. Many users face the problem of selecting strong passwords that meet corporate security requirements. Too often, systems reject user-selected passwords because they are not long enough or otherwise do not meet complexity requirements. This book teaches users how to select passwords that always meet complexity requirements. A typical computer user must remember dozens of passwords and they are told to make them all unique and never write them down. For most users, the solution is easy passwords that follow simple patterns. This book teaches users how to select strong passwords they can easily remember. * Examines the password problem from the perspective of the administrator trying to secure their network * Author Mark Burnett has accumulated and analyzed over 1,000,000 user passwords and through his research has discovered what works, what doesn't work, and how many people probably have dogs named Spot * Throughout the book, Burnett sprinkles interesting and humorous password ranging from the Top 20 dog names to the number of references to the King James Bible in passwords. 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions. 650 0$aComputers$xAccess control$xPasswords. 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aKleiman, Dave. 776 1 $cOriginal$z1597490415$z9781597490412$w(OCoLC)63802257 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781597490412$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 907 $a.b13655541$b24-02-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003250579707536 994 $aC0$bTEF 996 $aPerfect passwords$91213090 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale029$b24-01-08$cm$dm $e-$feng$gmau$h0$i0
