Diceware passwords now need six random words to thwart hackers
From http://arstechnica.com/information-t...hwart-hackers/
Quote:
One of the best ways to create a random yet memorable password is to use "Diceware." This involves literally rolling dice and matching the resulting numbers to a list containing 7,776 English words, each identified by a five-digit number. Five Diceware words has long been thought to provide enough security for the average user.

Now, for average users he recommends "a passphrase with six Diceware words, or five words with one extra character chosen and placed at random."
