Thoughts on changing passwords daily (possibly multiple times daily) on any non-personally owned systems. There are a couple of potential pluses for this thought: if your password is ever compromised, or if it is subpoena’ed for any purpose, it has likely already changed by the time an attempt is made on the account. Cons: incredibly unwieldy to manage for multiple or all accounts; would have to be managed by an automated process on a personally owned system, with a method to sync/provide the updated password to end user in real time; providers might see as suspicious; tracking what characters are allowed in passwords for what providers; managing password resets if required (and syncing back to the changer controller, as it would have to know a changed password in order to be able to update it).

“But I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules l surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; If I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am responsible for everything I do.” (“The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress”, 1966) Heinlein?

http://www.heppnetz.de/projects/goodrelations/ Good tool, wish more places used this. Unfortunately, most places seem to want to create highly visible obscurity on the web… generally because they are not at all competitive. Is there a good semantic search engine, and how would it make money if so?
