Talk:Password fatigue

message: I just attempted to fixup the ending of the main article, not sure if I made a very encyclopedic job of it, but it was looking a bit fragmented and there were some style errors (mine) there. 
I removed the comment about clipboard cleaning, since that relates to computer security and defeating trojans/keyloggers, whereas this article should focus the social engineering problem of password fatigue. NB: It's obviously a good idea and necesscary, but it's already mentioned on both the Keypass and Password Safe articles for anybody researching further.
In general I think the discussion of the social aspects should take greater precedence here, followed by the technical discussion and information. The format of the page already follows this, but the technical stuff tends to grow, while the social aspect remains untouched. I think this is because lots of geeks like me know a lot about the tech, but cannot really describe the problem in terms of human behaviour. 
So.. if anybody can find some proper academic references, works or citations to beef up and expand the first four paragraphs I think that would be a very worthwhile contribution. EasyTarget (talk) 15:38, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I suspect that "password fatigue" is not actually a medical or psychological syndrome recognized by competent authorities.  This article should be altered or deleted.  When I become an administrator I will ensure that this article goes away forever.

replies: text: It's certainly not a described medical/psycological syndrome, although it is widely described in technical circles. So a great way to contribute would be to clarify that has no medical/psycological definition, but is commonly cited by IT professionals as an issue related to computer security. The criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia is notability, it's therefore unlikely there will be consensus to delete this page, even after your meteoric rise to adminhood.

thread_title:  Classification as Syndrome 

message: Agree, the two should be merged, but I think Password Fatigue is the common name for this, at least as a distinct technical term. Although I think 'chaos' is a better description, and probably more comprehensible/intuitive to the layman :-) 
My proposal would be to merge the description and links of the password chaos article here, and redirect Password chaos to this page. Accordingly I'm going to remove the merge tag from here and continue this discussion on talk:Password chaos.

replies: text: I agree with your plan. I added a "merge from" tag to this article. Remove it after you've done the merge.--agr (talk) 02:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge with [[Password chaos]] 

message: The article indicates that MS Windows doesn't allow for storing passwords to individual resources, instead favouring Active Directory.  This is not entirely true.  When creating a drive letter mapping to a network drive (not in a domain), for instance, the user has the option of storing their password, which is saved locally, encrypted using their Windows login via the SAM database.

thread_title:  Lack of stored passwords on Microsoft Windows 

message: The article refers to a 2002 study conducted by NTA Monitor. Considering how long ago that is, over 10 years, and how much the Internet has changed and our reliance and usage of it, if someone can find a more recent study on it, please bring it up.
