Comment: Terrible password policies (Score 5, Insightful) 487

Any password policy that basically forces you to write down your password somewhere is broken. Sure, you can use a password vault but that's cumbersome for the various dozens of passwords strewn about the web and on mobile devices. But my biggest gripe is sites that lock you out (requiring a phone call) after 3 incorrect guesses. I could understand 100 incorrect guesses, but 3 guesses is not enough to recall a password when you have not used it in several months. One hundred guesses by a computer/hacker is nothing compared to the full password space.

If you look like your driver's license photo -- see a doctor. If you look like your passport photo -- it's too late for a doctor.
