  • In the years and years since technology has taken us over and ruled us we mere mortals have resorted towards using a password. In the beginng that's all it was, a simple word that we used that allowed us in to various things, but in the years since with growing feuds between different groups of technolgy we have found ourselves resorting to more complex passwords. Often requiring they be at least 8 characters long and in most cases including at least a number and upper-case letter if not special characters. However along has come a new type of secuitry think. This time using passphrases rather than a hard to remember, and overly complex for human brains, passwords. For more information on this idea of passphrases checkout this article written by John Carroll University.
