I’ve just registered the domain of passwordstandards.com as part of a
new project. The goal of the endeavor is to call attention to online
services that don’t allow their users to select decently strong passwords.
This is especially crucial for services that are financial in nature or
maintain other types of sensitive information.
Project Clarification
First things first — the main focus of this site is to allow users to
select strong passwords, not to disallow them from selecting weak
ones. Prohibiting weak passwords is important as well but will not be the
focus of the project.
Basic Goals
-
Maintain a list of offenders and regularly “encourage” those on the list
to improve -
Have a few categories for the sites listed, e.g. financial, personal,
etc. -
For each site show the existing, weak standard that they support, e.g.
no capitalization, or no special characters -
Provide an interface for the community to submit sites for addition or
deletion
The Mission Statement
So let’s agree on a general project statement. Here’s what I’m thinking:
Please allow at least the following:
-
Ten (10) total characters in length
-
Lowercase and uppercase letters
-
Numbers (0-9)
-
Basic special characters (to be agreed upon)
Thoughts?
