Well, Kathryn, or Kathrine she has spelled it both ways, and her birth certificate has her last name spelled differently than her high school diploma, or the way her father spelled it. I can never remember the "correct" spelling of either one, so I never choose that option.

If you are breached the passwords for the entire company can be breached in X amount of time based on length and complexity. A 20 char pass phrase will take longer than an 8 char complex password for example.
