Strong password

"z09r32igh56he083kd082rzx2103jy64jcb1zq5iuf843ndf"

This is an example of a strong passcode. It is long, contains mixed letters and numbers, and it is very difficult to remember. Since it is very difficult to remember, you write it down on a paper, type it in a notepad,etc...

This happens most of the time. I know many people who exactly do this. Some of them uses a notebook, a cellphone, a post it and a white board.

What if someone was able to see or copy this pass code?

Maybe this is the reason why people still stick on using weak passcodes because maybe for them since it is very easy to remember they can do things faster.

Imagine, typing a very long passcode in a masked text field. You press login and it's wrong , so you try it again and again. After that you see a message saying...

"Reached maximum allowable failed log-in. Your account has been locked. Please wait for 10 minutes" or more.

Or Siguro nakakatamad lang hehe
