He is so pretentious. He goes on about how great Open ID is and yet talks about how he has all these different passwords and uses a "throwaway" password for admin access to his application. Great. Then he posts something about how "brute for is for dummies" when using bad passwords is really what's for dummies.


I think he even had a post about how passphrase is better than a password. But I may be mistaken and I am just to lazy at the moment to search for it :(

I think so, and I think the passphrase included dictionary words which is why the anonymous person said as much.
