I just gave my poor office mate a 1 hour diatribe about how much I hate passwords. I especially hate it when I am forced to include some combination of numbers with upper case and lower case letters only to have my offering rejected because it is "not sufficiently secure" or "already in use". </p> <p>Interesting questions about digital identity as well. I find it fascinating that most people equate the phrase "digital identity" with privacy and theft. In the non-digital world we see identity as synonymous with personality and not so much bank card number.</p> Hey Scott, you totally struck a chord with me on that post.
