@marty
yeah, I agree with you there - good passphrases and passwords need a fair bit of thought behind them especially passphrases. I haven’t yet switched to using passphrases because haven’t thought of anything that seems suitable
@Chii
same - I’ve got ’staggered’ security levels too, some of my passwords are very simple, while others are 10 mixed chars. though with passphrases it might become the ‘weak’ passwords are 10 chars, and the stronger ones are much longer!

as for just not using online banking etc…i find it too convinient to not use it, so I just try and come up with extra secure passwords - which will now become extra secure passphrases

I would normally use a staggered security level in passwords - for trivial stuff like a disposable email/registration/forum, i ll use a simple name i can remember, but for a uni login or important web email, i will use a very secure password of 12 chars or so.

personally, i dont think password security matters, because for something as important as banking, i will not do it online simply coz its not secure enuf no matter what password i use!

I think coming up with a good passphrase/password is an art on itself…
