Crafting the perfect password isn't easy. Some things, like pet's names, birthdays and ascending number sequences, should definitely be avoided. (The word "password" is strongly discouraged, too.)
But what about good grammar? According to a new study, you should probably steer clear of that as well.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have created an algorithm that they say can crack long passwords that make grammatical sense. The algorithm combines words and phrases from password-cracking databases into grammatically correct sentences — so passwords arranged as phrases, like "thispasswordrules" or "mynameisjudge," are becoming more crackable, they say.
