Solve : Odd Baby names and Stupid Security? |
|
Answer» Odd Baby Names. Th is from a published list,. but I added some of my own. E8>L9uh~V&Pg What I am saying is that it is more likely somebody will crack your security questions rather that your password. Do the math. In English that are only a limited number of names for people, places and things. Maybe 50,00 names. Just a four character password has over a million permutations. Take a vacation...There's also another site called http://www.mystrongpassword.com/ Its simple and fast for generating random, secure passwords. As far as stupid security GOES... i find it funny how so many give option for mothers maiden name as a security password reset question option from the drop down of questions. I have for years USED random characters alpha numeric with special characters etc for anything important, but for lesser important site registrations, i will usesomething less complex but never something that could be figured out in a dictionary of names, schools, streets, colors, etc to attack with far lesser combinations than that of something that is a mismatch to the question by far. But many people dont like having to keep a small notebook with all this info that is almost impossible to remember. But I dont mind it to be secure as can be. Also every site has a different password, and I use multiple e-mails so anyone getting an e-mail address cant successfully get into other sites with that e-mail with the same password that was used at a prior site etc. Also I use alias information with registrations that are not required by law to post true information. I say everyone should make an alias and use that for registrations that are not a violation of law to register with. I have 4 different alias's written down in a notebook that I use for different levels of security. Also when it comes to facebook its funny when family members wish me happy birthday on the wrong day, and the others question it who really know my birthday in private message. There was a cartoon my daughter use to watch some time ago that some cartoon kid had this Great Big Book of Everything in it...... I call my security book ... "The Great Big Book of Everything" ... LOL . ...... Just looked up that Cartoon called Stanley that she watched when she was much younger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_(2001_TV_series)Quote Odd Baby Names. Don't get me started! I have a thing about people using surnames as given names - Hunter, Tyler, Ryan, Brandon, Riley, McDonald, etc, made up names, especially with embedded capitals - ShaNora, KyLeisha, LaToya, McShayla, stupid names like Pepper, Brandi, Toni, and I kid you not, Jurnee. Also River and (seen on Oprah) Florette Flower Boom. However... Blaise is a French first name of respectable antiquity, e.g. the writer, scientist and mathematician Blaise Pascal. Kelsey - shared by Kelsey Grammer, who got it in 1955, although it has surged as a girls name in the last 30 years Theo - short for Theodore, a slightly old fashioned boy's name in Britain, not seen as odd here. Toby, Tristan - normal English names, although Tristan is German and used since the Middle Ages. Tracy is considered unisex in Britain, although I believe it is mainly a girl's name elsewhere. I heard one the other day, Racket Beauregard. |
