Passwords

Blogfather Harvey over at BadExample recently made a post linking to a video about the frustration which some websites put you through in order to signup or change your password.  This reminded me of a couple of comics I've seen floating around the internet.  The first one is called Password Validation which is from Popstrip, and I think adequately details the frustration of choosing a password on some of the more idiotic websites.  The second comes from xkcd and is titled Password Strength.  I've placed the image of the xkcd below, for the lazy.  It details that the passwords those websites make you choose really aren't as secure as you might think, though they are hard to remember.
