The Password Is "Chocolate"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3639679.stm

Link to a short article [with lots of interesting commentary appended] about a couple of surveys on passwords, which indicated that 70% of those in the survey would reveal their password for a chocolate bar. Beneath the surface humour is a serious point: that many of our security activities set themselves up for failure because they simply don't take human nature into consideration. With attacker threats becoming so severe and the value of defended asssets so great, I think it comes close to professionally irresponsible for those in the IT field to keep on pushing the same tired solutions which have been repeatedly shown as inadequate.

Besides, if somebody offered me a 6-pack of LINDT Cognac-filled bars....
