Thumbs up Password Theory

We all have a million passwords... I read an article a while back the jist of it was that you can use passwords as sort of a positive reinforcement and yourself a positive reminder through out the day. In the article a man was getting divorced and decided he didn't want to be bitter about it. He used the password of "forgiveher" along with a screen background of his ex wife to help him get over it. And he says it helped, a great deal in fact.

I decided to test this out and for the past 2 months my work passwords (which I enter several times a day) have been positive talk about working out and eating well. I can't say that it's made a huge impact, but it certainly has kept the positive thoughts fresh in my mind and that may be a good enough reason to do it.

I just thought I would share this in case it might help someone else, I think it's a good concept. If nothing else it can't hurt and it's helped me to come up with a new "set" of passwords to use instead of variations of the same few over and over.

This is an interesting idea, and I'd be up for trying it. It's worth noting that pass phrases are also some of the strongest passwords you can have, as illustrated in this comic.
