Is Your Password Weak?

One of our network engineers came to me this week and asked me to write a tech tip on the importance of using complex passwords.  He had recently had a few experiences where clients were reluctant to use suitable passwords.  I had already written on this subject several times, so I was reluctant to write yet another tip.  Then, I came across PasswordMeter.com.  If you think your password is "complex enough," try testing it on this website.  You might be surprised.  (Just to be on the safe side, I suggest not testing your actual password but rather a very similar password.  You can never be too safe.)
