One question: So, 6 months is long enough for you to use a longer passphrase, but 1 week is not. Where is the line? and Two suggestions: 1. Use a password manager? I recommend 'pass' it's quite simple, uses gpg and files in a git repo. Then you fas password is just a 'pass -c fas' away. 2. Use a passphrase you can remember. Isn't: My FAS password is long, but I can always, always remember it.! easier to remember than some jkas63opqp string? kevin
