Our intense online lives require us to protect our data with countless complex passwords, made up of a mix of letters, digits, and special characters. But the requirements for these complex passwords often lead to frustration and frequent lockouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, modern devices and login systems offer a better method: password phrases, a sequence of words or text to access a system. These password phrases are superior to traditional \u201ccomplex\u201d passwords due to a strong combination of advantages: they are easy to remember, yet very difficult for humans or computers to guess. This is why they are recommended by NIST for advanced protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with complex passwords<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complex passwords can be problematic for several reasons. In general, they are hard to remember because they combine letters, numbers, and special characters, which can increase vulnerability if stored insecurely or shared with others, and also cause user frustration from having to enter them repeatedly, especially if they are too complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy to remember<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since password phrases offer advanced security due to their length, not the complexity of their characters, they are much easier for humans to remember than a sequence of numbers, letters, and symbols. A password phrase can be anything: from a song lyric to a favorite quote, a personal motto, or an inside joke, making it easier to read and type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hard to crack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length adds extra complexity for cybercriminals and a higher chance that your password phrase is completely different from any previously exposed. While a powerful computer can try every possible combination of a 12-character password in seconds, passwords of at least 15 characters\u2014in essence, a short phrase, including spaces\u2014will take exponentially longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transition to password phrases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the main limitation for adopting password phrases in business environments comes from older equipment, which has character limitations and outdated password requirements. However, the dual advantage of password phrases has become the most requested feature by Kingston IronKey customers. This is why Kingston has incorporated password phrase capability into many devices in the IronKey hardware-encrypted Flash storage line, such as the IronKey Keypad 200<\/a> (which uses an alphanumeric keypad on the device itself), the IronKey Locker+ 50<\/a>, and the Vault Privacy 50<\/a> USB series, as well as the Vault Privacy 80<\/a> external SSDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These devices allow users to select Password Phrase mode and support phrases up to 64 characters long. This way, users have the flexibility to set long password phrases that better protect their data against breach attempts and are easier to remember because they are a series of meaningful words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a password phrase can be a good option because it can be easier to remember, more secure, less susceptible to brute-force attacks, and easier to type. It\u2019s important to choose a phrase that is meaningful and personal to the user and meets recommended security requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
