Answer
Passwords are not secure because people often write them down on
a piece of paper put in plain sight for all to see. Furthermore, when
choosing passwords people will often pick something that can be easily
guessed, like their child's name or birthday. You can reduce the risk of
using passwords by requiring passwords to $(1)$ be at least $8-10$ characters
in length, (2) include at least one special character like $/ \$^{*} \&,$ and $(3)$ not
be something found in a dictionary. You can also use personal information
rather than a memorized password. Personal information is a fact
that you would know without having to write it down, but which an
acquaintance or coworker would likely not know-maybe the name of
your first pet or your maternal grandfather's first name.
