Hi all,

According to The Age, the New Scientist magazine recently advises that,
for your passwords, people should, 'pick two unrelated words, and join
them with a punctuation mark.' Their example given, 'magpie/towerblock'

They assert such passwords are memorable while also difficult to guess.

Cheers,
Stephen
