Passwords: Hard-to-hack equals hard-to-remember

I read today about a new web-based program that can be used to create complex hard-to-hack passwords. These passwords are randomly generated and a sufficient number of uppercase, numerical and special characters. Terrific! Hard-to-hack equals hard-to-remember. And hard-to-remember means these difficult passwords will be written in a notebook, on a sticky note or… who knows. Here’s the point: Reliance on users in large scale for critical security related tasks is just plain dumb. Users/employees should not be relied upon for effective data security.
