More Problems with Passwords???

   While I like to write about a variety of security-related topics, it seems that issues with passwords
keep coming up again and again.

   Passwords, and in particular their use for online authentication, is a mess.  I've written about this a number of times including here, here and here.  My advice for online use of passwords has been the same all along.  I've always said:

1. choose good long passwords (long sentences are just fine)
2. use a password vault, and
3. use a unique password at each online site.
4. (bonus) use 2-factor authentication for online sites when available (and complain if it isn't available yet!) 

   But... I had missed something!  There is another key thing that everyone needs to do to protect their online passwords... Don't Store Passwords in Your Browser!
