This is the front page for a set of patterns describing how you could (maybe should) go about creating and handling your passwords in order to achieve practical security. I wrote most of the initial versions of the patterns on my software wiki. They were subsequently amended and commented on by the contributors listed below. I converted the patterns to static pages when I shut down the software wiki. If you have important extensions or changes, please let me know and I'll add them by hand.
