Considering that a password should be unique and difficult to crack, this can quickly become a cumbersome affair. Does it have to be this way?

Moreover, &quot;complicated&quot; passwords are often very hard to remember, which again increases the chance of us humans taking less wise shortcuts to make it easier for ourselves, for example by using the same password on all websites we use. And from time to time, &quot;scandals&quot; are unraveled, where some well-known company has had their user data databases compromised.</p>
