[Edited: To fix the math errors. Not that anyone will notice, I suppose. And it took me 2 weeks to get around to doing it. Procrastinate much?]
Two things happened in the last month to make me think about passwords. The first was an issue at work where I was asked to describe in some technical detail how hard or easy it would be to guess a single person's password if I had access to the password hash stored in the application's database. The second was that I screwed up when changing my password in KeePass and had to give some thought to whether I could recover it and how.
( Boring details )
