Passwords And Password Etiquette
1. Here Is A Line From Shakespeare’s Macbeth: ―Tomorrow And Tomorrow And
Tomorrow, Creeps In Its Petty Pace.‖ Explain How To Use These Lines To Create A
Password. How Could You Add Numbers And Special Characters To The Password
In A Way That You Will Be Able To Remember?
There Are Several Correct Ways To Create A Password From This Line. One Way
Might Be To Take The First Letters From Each Word. The Password Would Then Be
―Tatatciipp.‖ You Could Then Capitalize A Couple Of The Letters And Add In A
Special Character Or Numbers. The Resulting Password Could Be
―T&2morrow&Tciipp.‖ This Would Be A Very Secure Password.
2. List Two Different Phrases That You Can Use To Create A Strong Password.
Show The Password Created By Each.
There Will Be Many Correct Answers To This Question. Using A Passphrase To
Create A Password Is Done By Using The First Letters In The Phrase, Then
Changing Some Of The Letters By Substituting In Special Characters, Numbers, Or
Changes Of Case. For Example, The Phrase, ―I Never Count My Chickens Before
The Eggs Have Hatched!‖ Could Create The Password ―Incmchknsb4t3ggshh!‖
This Would Be A Great Password.
3. One Of The Problems Of Life In The Cyberworld Is That We All Are Required To
Have Multiple Passwords—One For Work Or School, One For Bank Accounts,
Another For Ebay Or Other Auction Sites, And So Forth. Of Course, It Is Better To
Use Different Passwords For Each. But In That Case, You Have To Remember Three
Or Four Different Passwords. Think Of Different Phrases You Can Use To Create A
Memorable, Strong Password For Each Of These Different Accounts. Relate The
Phrase To The Purpose Of The Account. Show The Passwords For Each.
, There Will Be Many Correct Answers To This Question. For Example, A Passphrase
For A University Account May Look Something Like, ―I Will Graduate From State
University Before 2020 Or Bust!‖ This Could Yield A Password That Would Look
Like
―Iwgfsub42020orb!‖
4. Explain Proper Behavior When You Are Using Your Computer And You Need To
Enter, For Some Valid Reason, Another Person’s Password.
In This Case, Say To The Other Person, ―We Need Your Password,‖ And Then Get
Out Of Your Chair, Offer Your Keyboard To The Other Person, And Look Away
While She Enters The Password. Among Professionals Working In Organizations
That Take Security Seriously, This Little ―Do-Si-Do‖ Move—One Person Getting
Out Of The Way So Another Person Can Enter Her Password—Is Common And
Accepted.
5. Explain Proper Behavior When Someone Else Is Using Her Computer And That
Person Needs To Enter, For Some Valid Reason, Your Password.
If Someone Asks For Your Password, Do Not Give It Out. Instead, Get Up, Go Over
To That Person’s Machine, And Enter Your Own Password Yourself. Stay Present
While Your Password Is In Use, And Ensure That Your Account Is Logged Out At
The End Of The Activity. No One Should Mind Or Be Offended In Any Way When
You Do This. It Is The Mark Of A Professional.
