Creating a password is easy. However, creating a strong password is not easy. Most passwords are simple variations of dictionary words, often with random numbers at the end of them or are simple substitutions (1s for Is, the "@" symbol for As, and so forth). The problem with this scheme is that it is easily guessable by sophisticated password-guessing software. Such software, such as that by Access Data, can crack open passwords that follow such simplistic patterns, even if those passwords include multiple intentionally misspelled words, random numbers, and other common patterns.
