Thinking out loud here, I wonder if there is an article inside this on password selection, for which this gives some of the reasons -- bad passwords are also subject to social engineering. It might be worth mentioning that reusable passwords aren't the ideal solution for strong authentication; there's no dictionary attack against a security token. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C.

Password selection; authentication; thinking aloud
Thinking out loud here, I wonder if there is an article inside this on password selection, for which this gives some of the reasons -- bad passwords are also subject to social engineering. It might be worth mentioning that reusable passwords aren't the ideal solution for strong authentication; there's no dictionary attack against a security token. Howard C.

- I think eventually we need something at User authentication. There are relevant bits here, at Cryptography#One-way_encryption and likely elsewhere, but they need to be tied together and other methods — tokens, one-time passwords, smartcards, biometrics, ... — covered.
