The Yahoo article takes some liberty, IMO, with the original Boston
Globe article. The Boston Globe article said:

"So which security measures offer a reasonable return on time and
effort? Although coming up with a sensible list of security actions
was not a goal of Herley’s research, he does have some suggestions
based on personal experience. Start with bullet-proof passwords, he
said, even if your employer requires you to periodically reinvent them
or use too many (he juggles about three dozen as part of his work)."

What do you make of this?

This link was sent to me by the CEO, who thinks it is a real pain to
change passwords. I think he's trying to tell me something, but wants
it to be my idea, so to speak.
